THE establishment of a new truth invariably evokes a number of new fallacies; the brighter the light that a new theory sheds on its proper field, the darker, and the more distorting, the shadows ...

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical ... combining a silver-catalyzed alkyne/CO 2 coupling and a subsequent base-catalyzed ring expansion. Hydrogen spillover, a phenomenon typically ...

The frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) concept, introduced in the mid-2000s, has advanced catalysis ... Lewis base sites were also generated through changes to nitrogen-hydrogen (N-H) bonds at specific ...

Transition-state theory has provided the theoretical framework to explain the enormous rate accelerations of chemical reactions by enzymes. Given that proteins display large ensembles of conformations ...
