Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Water is called the universal solvent for its ability to dissolve a broad range of chemicals. But you wouldn’t know that from spending time in chemistry labs, where the solvents of choice are almost ...

Figure 1. LoRA-Chem: From Model Customization to Organic Chemistry Reaction Tasks. (a) Several machine learning algorithm paradigms applied to organic chemistry. (b) Inspired by AI-driven image style ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Students learn how to predict the products of a chemical reaction. Types of Reactions: Students learn how to indicate the state of a substance in a chemical equation. The major types of reactions are ...

It is widely recognized that the Barbier–Grignard-type reaction is one of the most important methods for forming carbon–carbon bonds and has widespread synthetic applications in modern organic ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...

A discovery by UCLA organic chemists may one day put catalytic converter thieves out of business. In new research, they've ...
