Free radicals are neutral species bearing one or more unpaired electrons. Their unique reactivity underpins an extraordinary range of bond‐forming and bond‐cleavage processes, from organic synthesis ...
Click reactions—the subject of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry—come in many forms, but they all share a few key features. Namely, click chemistry forges new chemical bonds quickly, selectively, and ...
How the radical scavenger TEMPO traps a hydroxyl radical OH·. The proton of the hydroxyl radical reacts with TEMPO first. Colour coding: grey for C (carbon), white for H (hydrogen), red for O (oxygen) ...
Main group elements in low oxidation states have the potential to carry out chemistry that’s usually reserved for transition metals. For example, at low oxidation states, these atoms might be able to ...
