Researchers have created a palladium-on-carbon catalyst for drug, pesticide, and plastic production that is very sparing in ...

Colorado State University researchers have published a paper in Science that describes a new and more efficient light-based ...

Researchers in the US have looked to biology to develop an anionic organic photocatalyst that can reduce arenes with visible ...

But organic catalysts are formed from common elements, like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, so they are much cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly.

The organic catalyst system is also highly selective about which mirror-image form the final product takes, which is important as different mirror-image forms display different properties; ...

But organic catalysts are formed from common elements, like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, so they are much cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly. “On top of these advantages, our ...

Until now, organic substitutes for rare-metal catalysts were not considered practical because the catalysis process causes them to break down into component parts that are no longer useful.

An organic catalyst has been developed that could form the basis of a more energy-efficient process, replacing expensive inorganic catalysts.

Now, an organic thiyl radical catalyst with a carefully structured chiral pocket has been designed as a means to achieve highly enantioselective radical cyclizations.

Chemists have developed an organic catalyst that can drive reactions using pyruvate – a key biomolecule in many metabolic pathways – that are challenging and complicated to perform using conventional ...
