Abstract

The pronounced effect of quantum mechanical tunneling in chemical reactions involving light atoms like hydrogen is well established. Recent studies have found that tunneling can also play a significant role for common organic transformations, where if the participating atom is carbon/nitrogen, etc. For these cases, various reaction parameters like reaction barrier, barrier width and temperature play a crucial role in determining the efficiency of tunneling. In this review, we have focused on all those organic transformations where the influential role of tunneling has been documented either computationally or experimentally.

有机转化中的重原子隧穿

摘要

量子力学隧穿在涉及轻原子（如氢）的化学反应中的显着作用已得到充分证实。最近的研究发现，隧道效应在常见的有机转化中也起着重要作用，在这种情况下，如果参与的原子是碳/氮等。对于这些情况，各种反应参数（如反应势垒，势垒宽度和温度）在确定反应中起着至关重要的作用。隧道效率。在这篇综述中，我们集中于所有有机转化，其中无论是通过计算还是通过实验证明了隧道的影响力。
