A major advance in alkene oligomerization catalysis was Brookhart’s 1995 report of highly active group 10 metal diimine systems. In contrast to nickel and palladium catalysts, the corresponding ...

Light-driven molecular motors were first developed nearly 25 years ago at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. This ...

Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot. The slideshow shows this process.

For example, an alkene - a class of hydrocarbon molecules that have at least one double bond between two carbon molecules - can react with water in the presence of acid to form an alcohol.

Looking ahead, the research team is actively designing chiral NHC-nickel catalysts to promote new classes of multicomponent ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have solved a longstanding challenge in the synthesis of congested C(sp ...

A natural photoenzyme found in algae has been artificially evolved to perform an unnatural and entirely new function for the ...

Seven University at Buffalo scholars have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science ...

The first radical adds to an alkene (a molecule that contains a carbon–carbon double bond) to form a new C–C bond. The second radical adds to a nickel complex to form the carbon–nickel bond ...
