Joint computational and experimental study sheds light on a unique property of 2-D materials—dynamic changes of electronic configuration during transformations at the molecular level. Discovery of that mechanistic channel of the Zelinsky reaction allows scientists to design efficient carbocatalytic processes and guides construction of new generation of carbon materials.
