Organometallic catalysts are useful in lab research, and some are used industrially. They generally don’t work well in living cells. But researchers have now assembled an artificial enzyme with an ...

Transition-metal catalysts and biological catalysts don’t always play nicely. In fact, like playground bullies, they can be downright mean, shutting each other down. But now, an international team of ...

An organometallic capsule that can reversibly assemble and disassemble in response to chemical stimuli was recently developed by chemists. Comprising ferrocene-based bent amphiphiles, this new capsule ...

If you have developed processes to prepare an API, you have certainly come across a number of catalytic reactions using transition metals, and you will have noticed that they can be challenging to ...

It is widely recognized that the Barbier–Grignard-type reaction is one of the most important methods for forming carbon–carbon bonds and has widespread synthetic applications in modern organic ...

Homogeneous nickel catalysis is used for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural products, and polymers. These reactions generally proceed via nickel intermediates in the NiO, NiI, NiII, and/or ...

Representation of the new-to-nature olefin metathesis reaction in E. coli using a ruthenium-based artificial metalloenzyme to produce novel high-added-value chemicals. [NCCR Molecular Systems ...

Reaction mechanisms involving organic and organometallic reactions, with a recent focus on the use of parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) in the study of transition-metal-catalyzed additions of ...

What practical advice would students and practitioners need when conducting studies in applied theoretical organic chemistry? How can computational chemistry empower the assignment of complex ...
