Two new catalytic strategies offer ways to boost the Fischer–Tropsch process by preventing competing side reactions. The ...

Halogen bonding (XB), the attractive interaction between an electron-deficient halogen atom and a Lewis base, has undergone a dramatic development as an intermolecular force analogous to hydrogen ...

Halogen bonding, akin to hydrogen bonding, is a noncovalent interaction between a positive region on a halogen atom and a negative site, such as a lone pair on a nitrogen or oxygen. Following on the ...

It is appropriate for us to contemplate the growth of understanding of chemical kinetics which has taken place since the time of Planck. Understanding starts with the recognition by Stark in 1908 of ...

Scientists have discovered a new catalyst that allows the easy conversion of natural gas constituents into precursors for the production of fuels or complex chemicals, such as polymers or ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Super-small particles of silicon react with water to produce hydrogen almost instantaneously, according to University at Buffalo researchers. In a series of experiments, the scientists ...
