The electron motion mechanism of the metal-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling reaction, which synthesizes biphenyl from chlorobenzene and phenylmagnesium chloride (a Grignard reagent) using a palladium ...

A research team has synthesized a new polyoxometalate-based metal-organic complex that they then tested as a catalyst for the oxidation reactions of various sulfides. They found that the complex ...

We sought to unravel the mechanistic basis of the highly enantioselective cooperative effect between the bis-thiourea HBD and the diruthenium complex, with the goal of identifying principles that ...

Zeolites encapsulated metal and metal oxide species (regarded as metal@zeolite) is an important type of heterogeneous catalysts. They give performances that steadily outperform the traditional ...

Chemists who discovered a new technique for measuring complex reactive processes at the interface of liquids, solids and gases have received the 2023 Michigan Technological University Bhakta Rath ...

Researchers developed a powerful new manganese complex that could revolutionize light-driven chemical reactions. It absorbs light extremely efficiently, has a uniquely long excited-state lifetime, and ...

New manganese(I) complex breaks lifetime record for excited states, paving the way for future large-scale applications of photochemistry. (Nanowerk News) Reactions are typically driven by heat.

Photocatalysis is the use of light to accelerate the rate of a reaction in the presence of a photocatalyst. The catalyst plays a crucial role in this process—it absorbs the light being shined onto it ...
