Chemists have developed a new theoretical framework for more accurately predicting the behavior of catalysts. The study reveals how conditions such as temperature and pressure can change a catalyst's ...

The selective hydrogenation of phenolic compounds has emerged as a pivotal transformation in catalysis, bridging renewable feedstocks and high-value chemicals. Phenolics, readily obtained from ...

Selective oxidation of glycerol transforms an abundant by-product of biodiesel manufacture into high-value chemicals, including glyceric acid, dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde. This field ...

A reaction scheme showing an aryl aldehyde and a primary amine coming together on the left, with an arrow labeled with catalysts and ultraviolet light, to form a six-membered nitrogen-containing ring, ...

De-Wei Gao's research group at ShanghaiTech University has developed a new method for efficient and highly selective boron-heteroatom functional group exchange reactions. Their method overcomes the ...

Brookhaven Lab chemist Ping Liu and Stony Brook University graduate student Hong Zhang developed a theoretical framework to predict the behavior of catalysts under reaction conditions. The framework ...
