Researchers develop a safer and more efficient way to produce dicarboxylic acid. Using an iridium catalyst bound to a bipyridonate ligand, researchers were able to synthesize dicarboxylic acids from ...

Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes, also known as the 'king of nanomaterials.' Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the ...

Perhaps the most empowering skill of a synthetic organic chemist is the ability to make any organic molecule. The molecules may be studied in their own right or used as tools to study other things ...

Since the early 1800s, practitioners of organic chemistry have been fascinated with a group of plant-derived compounds called "alkaloids." Alkaloids contain at least one nitrogen atom among other ...
