catalyst

Asymmetric catalysis relies on subtle interactions that bias a reaction toward one product at the expense of its mirror image. Strassfeld et al. studied the particular influences at play in a squaramide-catalyzed ring opening of oxetanes…

Rhodium atoms for alkane dehydrogenationNanoparticles of rhodium dispersed on metal oxides are generally poor catalysts for alkane dehydrogenation because the reactants bind too strongly to the metal. Hannagan et al. performed…
