Studying the Mechanochemistry of Bimolecular Reactions Using Quantum Chemical Simulations: Addition Reactions to Carbon-Carbon Double Bonds

Chemical reactions usually involve the conversion of reactants to products by overcoming an energetic barrier. Most commonly, this process can be assisted by adding energy through heat (thermochemistry), light (photochemistry) or electric current (electrochemistry). The fourth option is to overcome...
