Once upon a time, when our planet Earth was very young and very new, there was not a single scrap of life on it to be found. Then, somewhere, somehow, some quirk of chemistry happened, and the ...

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

The study uncovers a key mechanism in the [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement, opening avenues for selective chemical reactions in pharmaceutical applications.

Important everyday products—from plastics to detergents—are made through chemical reactions that mostly use precious metals such as platinum as catalysts. Scientists have been searching for more ...

Photosynthesis is the process that plants, algae, and even certain species of bacteria use to convert sunlight into oxygen and chemical energy stored as sugar (aka gluclose). But what are the ...
