A group of students has designed a new catalyst that can render important chemical processes more sustainable. Their catalyst can create selective peroxide-like reagents literally from thin air and ...

Researchers can make the oxidation reactions used in the synthesis of organic molecules cleaner by hitching photovoltaics to electrochemistry. The idea is simple and yet it has huge implications. To ...

The controlled modification of natural products enables chemists to alter the physical properties and resulting functions of these complex molecules. Selective reaction at a specific hydroxyl group in ...
