This perspective is led by Prof. Weidong Shi and Prof. Long Zhang. Developing new and more-efficient catalytic ways to control chemical reactivity and selectivity has been a constant quest for chemists in the fields of chemical manufacturing and fundamental research. Evidence is growing pointing in the direction of utilizing oriented external electric fields as "smart effector" to manipulate a range of chemical change, such as chemical bonding, selectivity, mechanistic crossover and catalysis/inhibition.
