THE theory of chemical kinetics owes much of its development to the ease with which organic reactions lend themselves to convenient measurement, but the debt has been amply repaid, for kinetic ...

A groundbreaking discovery by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has challenged a long-standing ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

Fundamental principles of organic chemistry are presented (i.e., structure and bonding, physical and chemical properties, and chemical reactions of carbon-containing compounds), emphasizing concepts ...

Natural compounds from plants and animals have long been used in drug development, but mushrooms remain underexplored despite their rich chemical potential. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

A new theory predicts one of the effects of macroscopic mechanical forces on mechanochemical organic synthesis by a ball mill.

In a paper in Nature, Górski et al. 1 report tiny, light-powered devices that produce the electric current needed to drive microlitre-scale electrochemical reactions. The devices can be used to ...
