A highly basic gold catalyst has been shown to mediate the reaction of aromatic C–H bonds with carbon dioxide. The reaction provides a potential method of fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide and ...

Scientists have detected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. How the first benzene ring in ...

IN this very concise treatise the author has summarized the history of the industrially important diazo-compounds since their earliest recognition by Peter Gries in 1858 until the present time.

Astrophysicists at the University of Colorado's JILA, National Institute of Science and Technology, have conducted an ...

The illustration shows a first aromatic ring (purple) made up solely of metal atoms, surrounded by a molecular shell that ...

The reaction can also handle coupling partners that don’t work as well with other cross-couplings, such as nitrogen-containing rings. And it works with anilines and aryl boronates, which can be used ...

UC San Diego chemistry's Mike Burkart has found a bio-based method to manufacture polyurethanes used in everyday goods. This new method is a less toxic, environmentally friendly alternative to current ...
