📣 (1/7) Heavy-Atom Tunneling at Room Temperature Revealed by Instanton Theory

[IMPS, ETH Zurich @IMPS_ETH]

(6/7) This highlights the role of tunneling in spin-forbidden reactions and may open up the possibility for tunneling control in the synthesis of strained molecules under ordinary laboratory conditions.
