A team led by Abigail Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that phosphines can show transition- metal-like reactivity in a light-driven reaction between amine-containing rings and ...

The formation of a phosphine oxide with its strong P=O bond is the driving force for the classical Wittig reaction, but is wasteful and can pose problems during purification. A new development ...

Because ketones are widespread in organic molecules, chemists are eager to develop new reactions that use them to form chemical bonds. One challenging reaction is the one-electron reduction of ketones ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has made one of the clearest observations to date of phosphine, a molecule that has been the subject of controversy. In recent ...
