Abstract

This is a personalized Perspective on the development of a valence bond (VB) view of chemical reactivity (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1981, 103, 3692) as a LEGO process whereby one constructs “reactivity objects”, such as barriers, transition states, and reaction intermediates from VB building blocks, and thereby understands and predicts chemical reactivity in a unified manner. In so doing, I have tried to give the reader a panoramic set of applications, from the simple H-exchange reaction all the way to alkane hydroxylation by cytochrome P450 (Prog. Phys. Org. Chem. 1985, 15, 197; Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 1999, 38, 586).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
