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 ...

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 ...

A team led by Abigail Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that phosphines can show transition- metal-like reactivity in a light-driven reaction between amine-containing rings and ...

In the production of compounds, chemists have the goal of finding strategies that are most selective and avoid waste products. This helps to drive industrial innovation and drug development. In this ...

A new catalyst strategy developed at Institute of Science Tokyo uses BaSi2 as a support for nickel and cobalt to decompose ammonia at lower temperatures. By forming unique ternary transition ...

Researchers have uncovered an unusual new form of aluminium that challenges long-held assumptions about how this common metal ...

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 ...

While graphene is extremely famous due to its numerous intriguing features, its lack of an electronic band gap (material with a zero-band gap) has driven the quest for two-dimensional materials with ...

Transition metals-enabled cross-coupling reactions are widely recognized as among the most significant catalysis tools available to chemists. By employing a third reactant, a team of researchers ...

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 ...
