The unique chemical and physical characteristics of ionic liquids are increasingly enticing chemists to explore their use as media for organic synthesis. "Over the past five years or so, there has ...

In a feat of manipulating substances at the nanoscale, new research demonstrates a method to isolate two molecules together on a substrate and to control specifically how those two molecules react ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

Scientists have developed a strategy that could give a boost to the development of pyridine-containing drugs and organic functional materials. Scientists have developed a strategy that could give a ...

Organic chemistry is perhaps one of the most dreaded courses in the premedical curriculum. Some aspiring doctors even give up on their goal of going to medical school because they are deterred by the ...
