N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), which were first isolated in the early 1990s, have received a great deal of scientific attention as ligands for transition metal complexes and organocatalysts for more ...
When the first isolable carbenes were discovered a quarter-century ago, the reactive chemical species were considered laboratory curiosities. Not anymore, according to carbene specialists at the ...
Researchers have discovered a 'carbene transfer reaction' pathway using artificial bacteria that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The discovery opens a promising path towards the ...
A new family of cyclic carbene ligands has been synthesized, expanding the arsenal of these popular ligands and opening a door to homogeneous catalysis of a broader range of chemical reactions. "The ...
Sometimes, serendipity—or just plain luck—still plays a pivotal role in scientific discovery. Recently, a team of chemists were experimenting with using a biocatalytic process to trigger a ...
A research team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley has engineered bacteria to produce new-to-nature carbon products that could provide a powerful route to ...
