Green synthesis represents a transformative approach to organic compound production that minimises environmental impact by harnessing renewable resources, benign solvents and recyclable catalysts.

The integration of computational chemistry with synthetic organic methodologies has ushered in a new era of chemical research, where theoretical predictions and experimental validations work ...

Diastereomers are structurally identical molecules that are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers can have different ...

Chemists from St. Petersburg University has developed a new family of luminescent iridium complexes that, for the first time, realize a unique mechanism of photoactivated proton transfer. In the ...

In her new book, Molecular World: Making Modern Chemistry, chemistry historian Catherine M. Jackson brings the world of 19th-century experimentalists to life for chemists and other readers today. And ...

Heterocyclic compounds are organic molecules with a ring structure comprising at least two or more elements. In most cases, these rings are composed of carbon atoms along with one or more other ...

Karthik Sankaranarayanan trained in two quite different scientific subfields as a graduate student and as a postdoctoral ...

Diastereomers are molecules with identical structures that are not mirror images of each other, described as anti or syn for molecules without rings. Researchers at the University of Osaka developed a ...

Chemists have developed a method to furnish a range of molecules with a trifluoromethyl group attached to a sulfur, nitrogen or oxygen atom. Their procedure avoids the use of PFAS reagents. It thus ...

Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...
