Researchers have developed a visible-light-driven method that could help chemists build more complex drug-like molecules in ...

Chemists want molecules with increasingly three-dimensional atomic structures because they may be more potent and selective ...

A 3D plastic model of a carbon dioxide molecule. Strategies for using carbon dioxide in synthesis usually focus on the carbon atom. Now researchers are thinking about how to put its two oxygens to use ...

Chemists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have developed a practical two-step method for alkylating alkenes via thianthrenation, addressing a long-standing synthetic challenge. This ...

To recognize individuals for their outstanding achievements in the field of organic chemistry. This two-year postdoctoral fellowship will provide intellectual and academic freedom to early-career ...

The prize was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi for the development of an architecture that some chemists compare with a molecular sponge. By Alexa Robles-Gil and Ali Watkins ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

As a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, Mark Levin started sketching out ideas for how to do something no chemist had ever managed before: swapping one of the carbon atoms in ...
