In a showcase of metal hydride catalysis, two research groups have developed reactions to transform simple unsaturated building blocks—alkenes and alkynes—into valuable chiral amine products. What ...

Metathesis reactions for making compounds that contain carbon-carbon multiple bonds are one of the most important sets of processes in the chemical industry. The alkene or alkyne products are widely ...

(Nanowerk News) The role of surface modification of nanoparticle catalysts in alkyne hydrogenation reactions was systematically investigated by the Center for Nanoscale Materials' NanoBio Interfaces ...

Wilkinson’s catalyst, formally chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) [RhCl(PPh 3) 3], is a coordination complex that catalyzes a wide range of organic ...
