The electrodes are coated with carbon nanotubes. As they flow through the reactor, the reactants interact weakly with the carbon nanotubes, exposing them to the electric field. This induces electronic ...

Mechanochemical synthesis harnesses mechanical energy to drive chemical transformations under solvent‐minimised or solvent-free conditions. This approach, frequently executed by ball milling or liquid ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

Green synthesis represents a paradigm shift in organic chemistry, embracing environmentally sustainable practices that minimise the use of hazardous reagents and energy consumption. This approach ...

Inspired by what human liver enzymes can do, chemists have developed a new set of copper-catalyzed organic synthesis reactions for building and modifying pharmaceuticals and other molecules. The new ...

As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

Figure 1. LoRA-Chem: From Model Customization to Organic Chemistry Reaction Tasks. (a) Several machine learning algorithm paradigms applied to organic chemistry. (b) Inspired by AI-driven image style ...

What are Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs)? Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are composed of light elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, connected by strong covalent bonds, providing ...
