Researchers have helped minimize the cost of an important class of chemical transformations: converting nitriles into primary amines. Their experimental protocol uses a cheap nickel catalyst instead ...

Reactions are typically driven by heat. However, in recent years, light has also established itself as an energy source, as it allows chemical reactions to be controlled with exceptional precision.

Researchers from Osaka University and collaborating partners have developed an economical catalyst for an important chemical transformation, which might inspire additional efforts at lowering costs in ...

Aluminum has long been treated as a workhorse metal, valued for its light weight and corrosion resistance rather than any exotic behavior. Now researchers are revealing a subtler power hidden in its ...

Researchers developed a powerful new manganese complex that could revolutionize light-driven chemical reactions. It absorbs light extremely efficiently, has a uniquely long excited-state lifetime, and ...
