ResearchOrganocatalyst deconstructs mixed plastic waste into monomers
Step towards closed-loop recycling
ResearchClick chemistry with sound-induced mechanocatalysis
Researcher behind work says they ‘could be very close to a perfect way to conduct green chemistry’
ResearchBoron-doped olympicenes are surprisingly stable
By possessing useful electronic properties, boraolympicenes could have potential applications in organic electronics
ResearchSurprise as electric fields found to cleave bond homolytically
Study also uncovers that the reaction rate in a field increases linearly with the solvent dielectric constant
ResearchGigantic database of building blocks will help artificial intelligence uncover new organocatalysts
Publicly available dataset containing thousands of structures could help chemists develop data-driven reaction optimisation methods for organic synthesis
ResearchComputational study says polonium can form hydrogen bonds
Bonds driven by relativistic effects, rather than electronegativity differences
