Researchers can make the oxidation reactions used in the synthesis of organic molecules cleaner by hitching photovoltaics to electrochemistry. The idea is simple and yet it has huge implications. To ...

Chemists produce new oxidants as a tool for preparative chemistry. Chemical oxidation, the selective removal of electrons from a substrate, represents one of the most important transformations in ...

On the other hand, the importance of trifluoromethyl (CF 3) group-containing compounds in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials has spurred tremendous efforts devoted to the development of ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Hybrid water electrolysers are recent devices, which produce hydrogen or other reduction products at the cathode, while ...

When it comes to electrochemistry, the first thing that pops into mind probably isn’t C–H activation or arene cross-coupling reactions. You might think of batteries and solar cells, or industrial ...

It is commonly understood that sample matrices have the potential to create barriers to analysis as part of routine Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis. Interferences from sample matrices have ...

Sparked by several high-profile reports, electrochemistry -- using electricity to perform chemical reactions like oxidation and reduction -- is gaining popularity in the pharmaceutical field. Some ...

Conventional homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts each have their advantages and disadvantages. While heterogeneous catalysts (those in a different phase from the reactants, such as a solid ...
