As such, this review aims to summarize the field from its beginnings up until mid-2023 and to provide comprehensive coverage on synthetic methods and current state of mechanistic understanding. Chapters are split by type of bond formed, which include C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–C(sp<sup>3</sup>), C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–C(sp<sup>2</sup>), C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–C(sp<sup>3</sup>), and C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–C(sp) bond formation. Additional chapters include alkene difunctionalization, alkyne difunctionalization, and formation of carbon-heteroatom bonds. Each chapter is generally organized with an initial summary of mechanisms followed by detailed figures and notes on methodological developments and ending with application notes in synthesis. While XEC is becoming an increasingly utilized approach in synthesis, its early stage of development means that optimal catalysts, ligands, additives, and reductants are still in flux. This review has collected data on these and various other aspects of the reactions to capture the state of the field.

Recent strides in ML-based interatomic potentials have paved the way for accurate modeling of diverse chemical and structural properties at the atomic level. The key determinant defining MLIP reliability remains the quality of the training data. A paramount challenge lies in constructing training sets that capture specific domains in the vast chemical and structural space. This Review navigates the intricate landscape of essential components and integrity of training data that ensure the extensibility and transferability of the resulting models. We delve into the details of active learning, discussing its various facets and implementations. We outline different types of uncertainty quantification applied to atomistic data acquisition and the correlations between estimated uncertainty and true error. The role of atomistic data samplers in generating diverse and informative structures is highlighted. Furthermore, we discuss data acquisition via modified and surrogate potential energy surfaces as an innovative approach to diversify training data.

It is both computable and observable. Its topology allows gaining insight into the mechanisms of bonding and other phenomena in a way that is complementary to and beyond that available from the molecular orbital picture and the formal oxidation state (FOS) formalism. The ability to derive mechanistic insight from electron density is also important with methods where orbitals are not available, such as orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT). While density topology-based analyses such as QTAIM (quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules) have been widely used, novel, vector-based techniques recently emerged such as next-generation (NG) QTAIM. Density-dependent quantities are also actively used in machine learning (ML)-based methods, in particular, for ML DFT functional development, including machine-learnt kinetic energy functionals. We review QTAIM and its recent extensions such as NG-QTAIM and localization-delocalization matrices (LDM) and their uses in the analysis of bonding, conformations, mechanisms of redox reactions excitations, as well as ultrafast phenomena. We review recent research showing that direct density analysis can circumvent certain pitfalls of the FOS formalism, in particular in the description of anionic redox, and of the widely used (spherically) projected density of states analysis. We discuss uses of density-based quantities for the construction of DFT functionals and prospects of applications of analyses of density topology to get mechanistic insight with OF-DFT and recently developed time-dependent OF-DFT.","PeriodicalId":32,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Reviews","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":62.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142637820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
