Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The increasing stabilization of an anionic transition state with the increasing π acidity of newly made catalysts provides unprecedented experimental evidence that anion–π interactions can contribute to catalysis. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 9940 ff., </ext-link> S. Matile et al. further disclose theoretical simulations of anion–π catalysis that illustrate how the negative charge slides over the π‐acidic surface of the naphthalenediimide catalyst.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg37r9mgsf" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
