This module teaches fundamentals of pericyclic reactions using examples of biocatalysis, biomimetic catalysis, and natural product total synthesis. After completion, students should be able to ...

Adjusting the size and chemistry of nanocrystals within an ultrathin surface can speed up light-driven chemical reactions, ...

Traditionally, chemical reactions have been described as one-line “equations” in which substrates, say A and B, convert purposefully but rigidly into a desired product, say C. Naturally, it has been ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, unveiled a new modular way to combine three mix-and-matchable molecular pieces into new amino acid derivatives using an engineered enzyme ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Many technological applications, such as sensors and batteries, greatly rely on electrochemical reactions. Improving these ...
