The reaction of zinc metal with iodine shows direct combination, decomposition, recrystallization of sublimed I2, and electrolysis.

We cover the breadth of chemical synthesis and strongly encourage cross-disciplinary research projects. Our research activity is underpinned by the latest in synthetic chemistry technologies such as ...

reactants used for organic synthesis are often in the solid state. Previous experimental studies have suggested that the force applied by the ball to the system accelerates the chemical reaction ...

Pharmaceutical scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel chemical reaction that enables the precise functionalization of peptides and proteins.

Solution-phase organic reactions form the backbone of organic synthesis. Compared to solid-phase and gas-phase methods, ...

This discovery could potentially ... A small team of materials scientists and chemical engineers at Qingdao University, in China, has developed a self-powered, three-component biosensor that can ...

The nucleosides are rich in exposed hydroxyl and amino groups, so scientists use protecting groups to prevent unintended reactions with compounds used in DNA synthesis. Chemicals remove the protecting ...

A streamlined synthesis of the psychoactive compound ibogaine could open up new opportunities in the treatment of drug ...

Researchers have developed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that efficiently produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using small ...
