Challenging HSAB: Reactive Molecules and Nucleophiles

Podcast: Innovate and React

Erschienen: 01.04.2025
Dauer: 00:44:24

In this episode of Innovate and React, I am talking with Justus Reitz, a chemist from TU Dortmund University, about the limitations of the HSAB (Hard and Soft Acids and Bases) concept in predicting reaction outcomes. We explore an alternative approach using the nucleophilicity scale developed by the Mayr group, which offers a more accurate prediction method. Justus shares insights from his PhD research on stabilizing highly reactive molecules, particularly the synthesis and stabilization of diazoalkenes. We discuss how the Mayr nucleophilicity scale can facilitate understanding and controlling chemical reactions, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications.
