Abstract

A variety of reactions, whilst predicted to be symmetry allowed, are not observed experimentally. Several such non-observed yet allowed reactions have been studied in order to understand them and to possibly bring about, with suitably modified substrates, their observation. For example, although ozone adds to π-bonds, the isoelectronic nitro group does not, due to a high activation energy barrier. This reaction is of the type A⇄ B→ C. ...
