As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...

Figure 1: Overview of the network of organic reactions. To control the dynamics of these processes, we constructed a modular chemical reaction network, shown schematically in control-theoretic terms ...

Liang Deng's group at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently discovered that a dinuclear cobalt carbonyl complex [(Xantphos)Co2(CO)6] coordinated by the ...

When chemists develop new types of reactions, they generate a lot of data on what works and how well, along with what doesn’t work at all. Much of the data are never used, says Abigail G. Doyle, a ...

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

Driven by the increasing complexity of synthetic targets and the need for efficient, selective and environmentally benign synthetic methods, the past decade has seen tremendous innovation and reaction ...

Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

Scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of metal–organic frameworks." ...
