Directing isomerization reactions of cumulenes with electric fields
Electric fields have been proposed as having a distinct ability to catalyse chemical reactions through stabilizing polar intermediates. Here, the authors show that electric fields can catalyse the cis-to-trans isomerization reactions of cumulenes in solution in a scanning tunnelling microscope
