Chemists have long known that catalytic Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites on metal and metal oxide surfaces help spark a range of reactions that are important in industrial chemical and fuel ...

Properties of Acids and Bases: This article is a foundational guide for students to understand acids and bases along with their properties. Here you will learn about the acid and base definition, pH, ...

Because of their reduced dimensions, higher integration density and mechanical flexibility, atomically thin 2D materials have the potential to change the configuration of future device architectures.

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) created a buzz in the chemistry community a decade ago when they were introduced as a metal-free catalytic system. A research team in Scotland has now taken the concept ...

The synthesis and isolation of a silane adduct of an electrophilic boron species provides insight into the mechanism of metal-free catalytic reductions based on frustrated Lewis pairs. The production ...
