Understanding the delicate balance between nucleophilicity and electrophilicity is fundamental to rationalising reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. Nucleophilic reactivity describes a molecule’s ...

Cycloaddition reactions represent a cornerstone of synthetic organic chemistry, facilitating the formation of cyclic structures through concerted pericyclic processes. Traditionally explained via ...

Chemists have developed a new theoretical framework for more accurately predicting the behavior of catalysts. The study reveals how conditions such as temperature and pressure can change a catalyst's ...

Researchers from Utrecht University, Harvard Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have reported on a previously ...
