Understanding the delicate balance between nucleophilicity and electrophilicity is fundamental to rationalising reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. Nucleophilic reactivity describes a molecule’s ...

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 ...

Cycloaddition reactions represent a cornerstone of synthetic organic chemistry, facilitating the formation of cyclic structures through concerted pericyclic processes. Traditionally explained via ...

Scientists at the University of Helsinki offer new insights onto the control over reaction selectivity with visible light in plasmonic catalysis. In this discovery, it was found that by engineering ...

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 ...
