Chemistry is the realm of atomic and molecular interactions, acting according to rules that we often perceive as set in stone. Optical environments, in particular the strong coupling of molecules with them, are capable to modify those interactions [1,2,3] which provides means to control chemistry itself. We provide a brief overview of the fascinating experimental accomplishments that include control over crystalization, ionic conductivity, and the reaction rate. Furthermore, we discuss how strong coupling is able to alter correlation between molecules and influences solvation and aggregation structures [4].
