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

A team of Penn State researchers has found that a fundamental reaction in transition metal chemistry, called oxidative addition, can follow a different path to achieve the same ends.

Organic chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of organic compounds that by definition contain carbon. It is a specific discipline ...

These organic molecules have a structure based upon carbon chains and/or carbon rings. A 'family' of organic compounds close organic compound Compounds that contain carbon atoms, ...

The material has the same atomic structure as silica glass, forming a pyramid shape with a zinc atom at the center and four molecules of the organic compounds surrounding it. The researchers ...

The structure of many natural products can often only be confirmed by comparison with a synthetic sample. Here, scanning probe microscopy techniques allow the ultimate discrimination between ...

Most interestingly, this organic star dust is similar in structure to complex organic compounds found in meteorites. Since meteorites are remnants of the early Solar System, ...
