Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires ...

Controlling regioselectivity remains one of the major challenges in hydrocyanation. When an unsymmetrical alkyne undergoes ...

Nature Chemistry - The vast number of known organic compounds and the reactions that connect them together can be thought of as a complex network. Analysing the organic chemistry universe in this ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

The University of California, Santa Barbara, chemist started in 2008 by demonstrating micellar chemistry is compatible with olefin cross-metathesis reactions, which are typically performed in an ...

When asked to think of a chemical reaction, you might picture bubbling liquids in a beaker, or maybe applying heat to a ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

Gamma radiation can convert methane into a wide variety of products at room temperature, including hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing molecules, and amino acids, according to a new article published ...

The accomplishments of Assistant Professor Kathryn Perrine and her mentee, research assistant Chathura de Alwis, resulted in new insights into the chemical mechanisms of oxidation-reduction — or redox ...

But cold or not, complex chemistry seems to be happening in stellar nurseries. TMC-1, in particular, contains surprising concentrations of relatively large organic molecules with names like ...
