Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

The relationship between chemistry, biology and medicine has been remarkably productive over the past century, since Paul Ehrlich pioneered the idea of systematically searching for drugs. By screening ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

Chemical Reactions: A chemical reaction is a process where the substances 8unbdergo a change in their chemical composition. The substances that enter the reaction are called reactants that are then ...

Helium, a noble gas, was long believed to be 'too aloof' to react with the other elements on the periodic table. Now, however, scientists have provided a theoretical explanation of how helium may be ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

Relative to its next-door neighbor carbon, boron is one electron short. And what a difference that makes! Carbon, with six electrons, is essential to life, while boron, with only five, is not. There ...
