Researchers from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society have unveiled fundamental new insights into the working ...

In introductory organic chemistry courses, students learn about reaction mechanisms, often by drawing neat arrows connecting one intermediate state to the next until ending with a final product.

The study focuses on the oxygen reduction reaction, a key process in fuel cells that limits their efficiency. New insights ...

This new cerium-based catalyst interconverts between two oxidation states with distinct chemical properties, enabling two completely different reactions to occur in the same container. Most of the ...

One of the long-standing goals being pursued by chemists has been to succeed in following and directly visualising how the structures of molecules change when they undergo complex chemical ...

In 1899, German chemists Adolf von Baeyer and Victor Villiger discovered a reaction of a ketone and peroxyacid to form an ester. The reaction is widely used in research and industrially—to produce the ...
