Main group elements in low oxidation states have the potential to carry out chemistry that’s usually reserved for transition metals. For example, at low oxidation states, these atoms might be able to ...

Water treatment technologies traditionally assume that coexisting pollutants interfere with each other, reducing cleanup efficiency.

Organocatalysts consisting of organic compounds without metal elements are receiving much attention as next generation catalysts in the hope of reducing environmental burden and coping with exhaustion ...

Water treatment technologies traditionally assume that coexisting pollutants interfere with each other, reducing cleanup efficiency. A new study ...

What the research is about A spark flashes for only an instant before disappearing. In the molecular world, there are ...

Organic radicals represent a class of compounds characterised by unpaired electrons, endowing them with unique magnetic behaviours such as bistability and spin‐switching. Their magnetic properties ...

The free radical theory of aging is back in play after falling out of favor decades ago. (Remember when people were taking massive doses of various vitamins and minerals? Mopping up free radicals with ...

Macrolactones—large ring lactones—are core components of many natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Traditional synthetic routes rely on seco acids activated with condensing reagents, often ...
