A new technique offers a sharp picture of an elusive and ephemeral stage of a chemical’s life. By precisely measuring the energy of a molecule at the instant it morphs from one form to another, ...

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 ...

Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology have discovered that 2-D titanium carbide materials, or MXenes, can react with water without the presence of other oxidizers. Their finding ...

Chemists have devised a technique that allows them to determine the structure of the transition state of a reaction by observing the products that result from the reaction. During a chemical reaction, ...

THE thirty-sixth Bedson Lecture was delivered by Prof. M. Polanyi, of the University of Manchester, on February 1, in Armstrong College, Newcastle-on-Tyne. Prof. Polanyi took as his subject, “The ...

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 ...
