Abstract

AbstractThe cover picture shows that solvation smoothes reaction profiles not only for SN2 reactions at carbon but also for SN2 reactions at silicon, tricoordinate phosphorus and tetracoordinate phosphorus. Thus, the characteristic double‐well, single‐well and triple‐well structures on the gas‐phase potential energy surfaces (PES) disappear, which results, in all cases, in a unimodal reaction profile in solution. Details are discussed in the article by M. A. van Bochove and F. M. Bickelhaupt on p. 649 ff. We thank Dr. Marcello Luppi for the design of the cover picture.
