Researchers have shown that an exceptionally reactive carbon species can be made and remain detectable in water, contradicting the usual expectation that water destroys it immediately. That simple ...

Chemists at The Ohio State University have developed a new approach for generating reactive carbon-based intermediates known as metal carbenes, according to a study published in Science. These ...

Chemists have confirmed a 67-year-old theory about vitamin B1 by stabilizing a reactive molecule in water - a feat long thought impossible. The discovery not only solves a biochemical mystery, but ...

For the first time, a transient singlet carbene has been trapped--and stabilized--for days inside the cavity of a cage molecule at ambient temperature, according to chemists at Rutgers University. For ...

This graphic depicts methanol's chemical structure (CH₃OH) breaking down into hydroxymethylene (HCOH), a crucial precursor to the building blocks of life. A team led by University of Maryland chemists ...

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Theoretical predictions say that actinides should ...

Progress in the development of photocatalytic reactions requires a detailed understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the observed reactivity, yet mechanistic details of many photocatalytic systems ...
