Finding inspiration in the iron-based enzymes that metabolize drugs and other chemicals, chemists have come up with a catalyst that turns unreactive C–H bonds into useful C–N bonds (Science, DOI: ...

Heterobimetallic complexes, which feature two distinct metal centres bridged by versatile ligand frameworks, have emerged as a vibrant area of research with far‐reaching implications in catalysis and ...

Because bond order is a chemical concept, and not an observable in the quantum mechanical sense, there does not exist a unique definition of bond multiplicity in quantum chemistry. Thus, it is ...

A high-yield, one-pot, scalable reaction facilitates the production of biologically relevant amide compounds using less reactive nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and carboxylic acid without ...

Using a chain of molecules as an infinitesimal lanyard to tug on a chemical bond about to break, Duke University chemists have found they can speed a complex chemical reaction. Using a chain of ...

Scientists have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding ...

We report a mild method for generating the diphosphorus molecule or its synthetic equivalent in homogeneous solution; the P2 allotrope of the element phosphorus is normally obtained only under extreme ...

Fast-forward to 38 years later, and Evan P. Beaumier and Aaron L. Odom of Michigan State University and their colleagues are now reporting the first nitrogen analog of the yl-ene-yne complex, a ...
