Electric fields arise spontaneously at the surface of solid catalysts immersed in liquids, and this common yet largely overlooked phenomenon directly affects the rates of a large class of reactions.

The iron-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes undergoes two potential energy surfaces, the triplet (red) and quintet (blue) states, where the spin crossover effectively lowers the reaction energy ...

Scientists have developed a novel Cr-based single-atom catalyst that enables highly efficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ...

Scientists have made an advancement in the field of electrocatalysis. Their latest research sheds light on how catalysts can stay in unanticipated forms during the process of nitrate reduction. The ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...
