A research team has managed to “bottle” a highly reactive carbene in water, overturning a major assumption in chemistry.

Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying the structure and reactivity of rhodium-acylnitrenoid intermediates in catalytic hydrocarbon amination reactions. By studying ...

In the realm of reactivity, the vinyl carbocation is a beast so fleeting, so keen to combine or rearrange, that many have doubted that it can be tamed to create molecules in a stereoselective way. But ...

Immobilizing small synthetic molecules inside protein crystals proves to be a promising avenue for studying intermediate compounds formed during chemical reactions, report scientists from Tokyo Tech.

Led by Director CHANG Sukbok, scientists from the Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have made a breakthrough in understanding the ...
