DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tianlin Liu\nChemists have long sought new ways to control
  chemical reactions. Vibrational polaritons formed through strong light–
 matter interaction offer a promising approach\, motivating efforts toward 
 mechanistic understanding and rational design. I will present our recent r
 esults on conformational switch and energy-transfer dynamics in a hydrogen
 -bonded phenol system under vibrational strong coupling\, highlighting the
  detrimental role of energy disorder and a delocalization criterion for su
 staining polaritonic effects. I will then shift to gas-phase reactions and
  discuss an unusual OH-roaming pathway in the unimolecular decay of atmosp
 herically relevant carbonyl oxide intermediates\, where non-thermal energy
  distribution influences the competition between product channels.
