Catalysis is a fundamental process in chemical science whereby a catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. By providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower ...

The field of Green Chemistry, dedicated to designing and employing sustainable chemical processes, has undergone significant evolution in recent years. A central development in this area is micellar ...

Aluminium redox catalysis and reactive aluminium clusters showcase main-group element's transition-metal-like reactivity ...

IT IS WITH UTMOST GRATITUDE that I accept the Priestley Medal, the highest honor of the American Chemical Society. My predecessors at the University of California, Berkeley, who have received the ...

Scientists are looking for ways to make chemical reactions more efficient with the help of catalysts. This would ideally use ...

Researchers offer a novel and highly sustainable method for the acylation of phenols and alcohols. They found that Amberlyst-15 is an active catalyst for the acylation of phenols and alcohols by means ...

The synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide can be dramatically improved by switching the catalyst support from zirconia to ...

University of Warwick and MIT scientists reveal hidden microscopic networks on catalyst surfaces that could lead to cleaner and greener chemical processes.

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

The Princeton Catalysis Initiative (PCI) convened its inaugural symposium on Wednesday, Jan. 31, gathering an intimate group of 28 professors from across the University to swap brief research updates ...

Racemic mixtures can be transformed enantioselectively by coupling an enzyme (Candida antarctica lipase B, left) with a homogeneous diruthenium catalyst in a process known as dynamic kinetic ...
