| Citation | Blackmond has provided important mechanistic insights into a wide range of topics in physical organic chemistry. She introduced Reaction Progress Kinetic Analysis, a kinetically assisted mechanistic approach to interrogate multistep catalytic organic reaction mechanisms, which has been successfully applied to numerous chemical transformations. She has also explained how synergistic and complementary chemical and physical processes (asymmetric autocatalysis and eutectic partitioning) could have led to the emergence of biological homochirality. |
