A study shows that electrical charges in sprays of water can cause chemical reactions that form organic molecules from inorganic materials. The findings provide evidence that microlightning may have ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis ... basis to develop theories to provide further insight into the mechanism of reaction acceleration by applied mechanical forces," said the study's ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

Experiments show that those small electrical charges can trigger the chemical reactions necessary to form organic molecules.

A mild and simple method to access an important pharmaceutical scaffold, the bicyclohexane motif, has been developed using ...

We can use a gas syringe to measure the reaction of metals with dilute acid. When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. We can measure the rate of the ...

Reaction formation is a defense mechanism in which people express the opposite of their true feelings, sometimes to an exaggerated extent. For instance, a man who feels insecure about his ...

We welcome studies on catalysis, including metal catalysis, organocatalysis, and biocatalysis, which present a significant organic chemistry advance. The application of a new catalyst to a known ...
