A collaborative research team has discovered a new process for making anhydrides that promises improvements in costs and sustainability. UNC-Chapel Hill chemist Alex Miller and Eastman scientist ...

Researchers describe their development of a new reagent that allows a more efficient approach to make sulfoximines, sulfonimidoyl fluorides and sulfonimidamides that may be used in medicines. During ...

Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallocenes—chemical compounds where a metal atom sits "sandwiched" between two carbon rings—have been at the heart of organometallic chemistry research, finding ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

Scientists in the US have rewritten the rules of materials discovery after creating a new revolutionary way to develop superconductors, by swapping elements inside a crystal. The team from Argonne ...

The process by which fungi synthesize some of their most potent compounds has remained unclear for many years. This is especially true of cyclopentachromone, a key building block in fungal products ...

Society depends on chemistry far more than we consciously realize, from medicines to energy to electronics. However, chemistry is viewed with as much apprehension as gratitude, because of the ...

UNC-Chapel Hill chemist Alex Miller and Eastman scientist Javier Grajeda are leading a collaborative academic-industry team to identify more sustainable routes to elaborate basic building blocks of ...
