Solvation Science Student Challenge (S3C)

Together with RESOLV, explore how solvent molecules influence the selectivity of a reaction! Take part in RESOLV’s mission to overcome the traditional view of solvent molecules as passive spectators and to consider them as active reactants instead. Use literature research, your knowledge and your creativity to derive a new model that is able to reliably predict the selectivity of a reaction and also takes the influence of the solvent into account.
