Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks are appealing as synthetic hosts for mediating chemical reactions. Here we report the preparation of a mesoscopic metal-organic structure based on ...

With the help of zinc reagents, chemists have found a loophole in rules that govern additions to chiral carbonyl compounds, a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis. The work, presented on March 24 ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

Figure 1. LoRA-Chem: From Model Customization to Organic Chemistry Reaction Tasks. (a) Several machine learning algorithm paradigms applied to organic chemistry. (b) Inspired by AI-driven image style ...

The Diels-Alder reaction is the most iconic organic chemistry reaction. Scientists now report on exactly how this chemical reaction, discovered in 1928, occurs. In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt ...

Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the growth of crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks, unlocking a new class ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

The reaction is called a polymerisation reaction: close polymerisation To produce a long chain polymer from many small molecules (monomers). ethene is the monomer ...
