In a development that could revise organic chemistry textbooks, a new catalytic version of alkene dichlorination makes the reaction more versatile. Now, researchers have devised the first catalytic ...

Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

Alkanes, or saturated hydrocarbons, are major constituents of natural gas and petroleum, but there are very few practical processes for converting them directly to more valuable products. The reason ...

To the uninitiated, nickel might seem like just the impoverished younger sibling of palladium in the field of transition metal catalysis. After all, the use of palladium-catalysed cross-coupling has ...
