A team of chemists from the University of Vienna, led by Nuno Maulide, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of chemical synthesis, developing a novel method for manipulating ...

The meta C-H bond is the hardest one to do selectively. That's what Jose has done here with a cobalt catalyst, and no one's done it before. "He's made a cobalt catalyst that is really fast and really ...

With millions of tons of plastic going into landfills every year, chemists are racing to find end-of-life uses for materials like polystyrene. But these large polymers are notoriously hard to dissolve ...

C –H activation is the art of snipping specific bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms on an organic molecule to graft a new functional group in place of the relatively unreactive H atom. Over the ...

The tandem reaction achieved by the synergistic effect of Zn-O-Zr sites and oxygen vacancies, the ethane C–H bond was selectively clipped over the Zn-O-Zr sites and the CO 2 C=O bonds was activated ...

Chemists break down barriers between labs and institutions to join forces for a new way of doing organic synthesis. Chemists synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a revolutionary ...
