Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the ...

Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Family of compounds known as 1,2,3,5-tetrazines could have wide application in making new pharmaceuticals, chemical and biological probes, and other products. Chemists at Scripps Research have devised ...

The synthesis of organic compounds 1,2,3 is one of the most important and creative pursuits in modern science, requiring not only technical expertise, but also imagination, intuition and individual ...

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

IN NATURE and elsewhere, Prof. M. W. Travers and his collaborators have published the results of experiments on gaseous decomposition reactions, and have claimed that in a number of respects their ...

Synthesis of organic compounds and polymers is at the core of many manufacturing industries. The new “electrifying synthesis” methods that can combine conventional synthetic chemistry with ...

Ice grains from Enceladus reveal the richest mix of organics yet, offering the strongest clues that the moon’s hidden ocean ...
