Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols.

For the first time, chemists at the University of Bonn and Lehigh University in the U.S. have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost ...

New research shows that metal-oxide catalysts can sometimes release oxygen from within their structure, enhancing chemical activity. Chemical reactions that release oxygen in the presence of a ...

Scientists have discovered that physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions. Physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions, according to ...

Scientists from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT), Japan, have discovered that a catalyst poison, which deactivates homogeneous catalysts, can be "reborn" as an efficient ligand by ...

Researchers at Ohio State University have built a disk-shaped cluster that converts carbon dioxide into methanol at around ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...
