Even though quantum mechanical tunnelling has been appearing recurrently mostly in theoretical studies that emphasize its decisive role for many chemical reactions, it still appears suspicious to most organic chemists. Recent experiments in combination with powerful computational approaches, however, have demonstrated that tunnelling must be included to fully understand chemical reactivity. Here we provide an overview of the importance of tunnelling in organic chemical reactions.
尽管量子力学隧穿在大多数强调其对许多化学反应具有决定性作用的理论研究中反复出现，但它仍然让大多数有机化学家感到怀疑。然而，最近的实验与强大的计算方法相结合，已经证明必须包括隧穿才能完全理解化学反应性。在这里，我们提供了一个关于隧穿在有机化学反应中重要性的概述。
