A research team has synthesized a new polyoxometalate-based metal-organic complex that they then tested as a catalyst for the oxidation reactions of various sulfides. They found that the complex ...

A catalyst developed at LIKAT in Rostock opens up new avenues in the synthesis of fine chemicals for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and household chemicals, for example. Its effect is based on ...

The production of more than 90 percent of all chemical products we use in our everyday lives relies on catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, can reduce the energy required for these ...

The iron-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes undergoes two potential energy surfaces, the triplet (red) and quintet (blue) states, where the spin crossover effectively lowers the reaction energy ...

Scientists have developed a new way to turn plant waste into useful chemicals, bringing us one step closer to replacing some ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester and Hebei University of Technology have identified how a new class of catalyst ...

A new study reveals that dual-atom catalysts behave in a fundamentally different way than scientists previously thought, challenging a long-standing model used to predict catalytic performance.

For decades, scientists trying to build better catalysts have relied on a single guiding principle: there is one sweet spot, ...
