Mechanochemical synthesis harnesses mechanical energy to drive chemical transformations under solvent‐minimised or solvent-free conditions. This approach, frequently executed by ball milling or liquid ...

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 ...

A team has shown that artificial photosynthesis is feasible using organic materials. Using the technique, they successfully synthesized useful organic compounds, including pharmaceutical materials, ...

Scientists at the EU4MOFs research network have taken the initiative to standardize the reporting of synthetic procedures and material properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). To this aim, they ...

As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic synthesis due to their durability and the ability to tune their function by ...

What are Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs)? Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are composed of light elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, connected by strong covalent bonds, providing ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Organic chemists have tended to avoid using water to host reactions, largely because their carbon-based molecules rarely dissolve in the liquid. Now, Burkhard König at the University of Regensburg has ...

Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...
