Abstract
This review summarizes a literature survey on chiral recognition as viewed from a theoretical point. Nevertheless, experimental results in the gas-phase are reported when they are relevant for the theoretical calculations. The review is divided into the following sections: general considerations, experiment vs. theory; pure theoretical results; solvent effects; metals as glue; optical rotatory power, and conclusions.
Keywords: Water dimer, bimolecular equilibrium, hydrogen bonds, Rectangular molecules, zwitterionic-aminoacid units

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
