Transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions were the subject of the 2010 Nobel Prize in chemistry. A key component of that novel approach—known as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling—connects two types of ...

A computational method published in Cell Reports Physical Science offers a transferable way to predict how lattice strain shifts adsorption energies and reaction barriers across multiple ...

Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

A team of chemists has uncovered an unexpected way to use phosphorus to perform chemical reactions typically reliant on rare ...

Given the unexpected and unusual coupling of ketimines with vinyl bromides in the absence of added catalyst, a synergistic computational and experimental study was undertaken to gain insight into the ...

For centuries, the best chemists in the world struggled every day to create the molecules that your own cells manufacture every second. Then they discovered how one group of atoms let them make stuff ...

In the production of compounds, chemists have the fundamental goal of finding strategies that are most selective and avoid waste products. Breakthroughs in this area serve, among other things, to ...

Direct oxidation of methane to methanol is dominated by transition- or noble-metal-based catalysts, thus making the reaction quite expensive. To make the process efficient and cost-effective, ...

The global energy crisis and environmental concerns are driving the development of clean and efficient energy conversion technologies. Electrocatalytic water splitting has emerged as a promising ...
