Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

The spontaneity of redox reactions is demonstrated using copper, zinc, and silver, and their cations. When solid zinc is placed in Cu2+ solution, the blue color of the solution becomes less intense as ...

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi will share the prize. Their structures can "capture carbon dioxide, store ...

In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better known as benzene, is perhaps the most famous molecular ring in chemistry. Back ...

The prize was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi for the development of an architecture that some ...

This manganese complex, with a record excited-state lifetime of 190 ns, could one day be a low-cost alternative to precious-metal catalysts for light-driven reactions. Credit: Katja Heinze Precious ...
