Organic Molecules Mimic Alkali Metals Enabling Spontaneous Harpoon Reactions with Halogens

The harpoon mechanism has been a milestone in molecular reaction dynamics. Until now, the entity from which electron harpooning occurs has been either alkali metal atoms or non‐metallic analogs in their excited states. In this work, we demonstrate that a common organic molecule, octamethylcalix[4] p...
