A minimal but general method has been developed for catalysing many different cross-coupling reactions — those in which two chemical fragments are joined. It requires only the two substrate substances ...

While most people think of recycling in terms of the packaging for household products, the concept can extend to the chemistry to make them in the first place. Certain plant components are a promising ...

The metal atoms are losing electrons to form an ion. They are being oxidised. \(Mg(s) \to Mg_{}^{2 + }(aq) + 2e_{}^ - \) This is known as an ion-electron equation. Reduction is the opposite of ...

Catalytic hydrogenation represents an integral part of many critical industrial procedures. Standard processes comprise of the catalytic reduction of nitro groups to the equivalent amino compounds, ...

Researchers discovered that copper oxide catalysts form metallic copper mid-reaction, triggering a dramatic boost in ammonia output. The insight offers a roadmap for designing cleaner, more efficient ...
