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 ...

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 ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers ...

Skin is the body's first line of defense against an array of environmental hazards. But when our skin's natural oils react ...

Insertion Reactions Insertion reactions occur when a ligand inserts into the metal-carbon bond of an organometallic compound. These reactions are common in the formation of new organic compounds.

Reactions of organic compounds conversion into unsaturated products and hydrogen (H2) by means of photocatalysis that have been developed in the past 40 years are categorized, summarized and analyzed.

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction - the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

Researchers in the US have looked to biology to develop an anionic organic photocatalyst that can reduce arenes with visible ...
