Sep. 6, 2023 — Chemists have extended a powerful molecule-building method -- called C-H activation -- to the broad class of chemicals known as ...
Apr. 21, 2022 — Chemists have devised a new chemical reaction that allows them to synthesize a phosphorus-containing ring, using a catalyst to add phosphorus to simple organic compounds called ...
May 5, 2021 — The incorporation of boron into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon systems leads to interesting chromophoric and fluorescing materials for optoelectronics, including organic light-emitting diodes ...
May 3, 2021 — In a number of biological processes, iron-sulfur clusters play a vital role, where they act as cofactors to enzymes. Research now shows that cubic clusters can support unusual bonding states. This ...
July 19, 2021 — The carbon-hydrogen bonds in alkanes -- particularly those at the ends of the molecules, where each carbon has three hydrogen atoms bound to it -- are very hard to 'crack' if you want to ...
Sep. 14, 2023 — Lab-based studies reveal how carbon atoms diffuse on the surface of interstellar ice grains to form complex organic compounds, crucial to reveal the chemical complexity in the ...
Jan. 21, 2021 — Chemists have demonstrated the value of 'teamwork' by successfully harnessing the interaction between two gallium atoms in a novel compound to split the particularly strong bond between ...
May 31, 2023 — Chemists add another powerful tool to their 'molecular editing' toolkit for crafting pharmaceuticals and other valuable ...
May 25, 2022 — A technique used in chemical synthesis is called hydrogen atom transfer, or HAT. It's a potentially powerful and versatile chemical tool, but technical constraints have limited its use. Now ...
Dec. 17, 2020 — Only a small percentage of plastic bags and other polyethylene packaging is recycled because only low-value products can be made from this waste. Chemists have created a catalytic process that ...
