Chemists routinely optimize reactions to maximize the yield of their desired products, but understanding why those reactions ...

Pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and agrochemicals are produced industrially using a wide range of chemical reactions. These processes need to become more efficient, less expensive, and more ...

Click chemistry is a strategy for building molecules by snapping together two complementary chemical handles in a single, dependable step. Rather than relying on long multi-step syntheses, it uses a ...

Chemists routinely optimize reactions to maximize the yield of their desired products, but understanding why those reactions ...

Thanks to enzyme-based biocatalysis, an enormous range of pharmaceutical active ingredients and other complex molecules can ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...

Iron oxide, aluminum, and a catalyst are placed in a flowerpot. The reaction is extremely exothermic resulting in molten iron and aluminum dripping into sand below the flowerpot. The demonstration ...

Once smoke is generated, chemical reactions reshape its gaseous and particulate constituents, altering what travels downwind ...

I read with considerable interest the editorial “ ‘No Excuses’ for the Future of Green Chemistry” (C&EN, June 2/9, 2025, page 2) and the first installment of the new column on green chemistry, “The ...

Using an advanced technique, scientists have demonstrated that a chemical reaction powered by light takes place ten thousand times faster at the air-water interface -- what we usually call the water ...
