Abstract
The Cover Feature shows how density functional theory was employed to unravel the bond-breaking and -forming steps along the reaction coordinate of the Diels–Alder reactions between 2,5-DMF and ethylene derivatives activated by electron-withdrawing substituents, thus demonstrating how the evolution of the distribution of electron density into basins unveils the reaction mechanism.

期刊介绍:
ChemPhysChem is one of the leading chemistry/physics interdisciplinary journals (ISI Impact Factor 2018: 3.077) for physical chemistry and chemical physics. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemPhysChem is an international source for important primary and critical secondary information across the whole field of physical chemistry and chemical physics. It integrates this wide and flourishing field ranging from Solid State and Soft-Matter Research, Electro- and Photochemistry, Femtochemistry and Nanotechnology, Complex Systems, Single-Molecule Research, Clusters and Colloids, Catalysis and Surface Science, Biophysics and Physical Biochemistry, Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry, and many more topics. ChemPhysChem is peer-reviewed.
