Organic chemistry makes much of modern life possible. The highly creative science finds ways to make and break chemical bonds to produce increasingly complex materials. The field enables the ...

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 ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

The unique reactivity of gold complexes as tunable p-Lewis acids have driven diverse applications towards C–C multiple bond functionalizations, enyne and diyne cycloisomerizations, carbene/nitrene ...
