Since our research focus for years has been on bio- and chemocatalytic synthesis in water, I read with great interest “Some Organic Chemists Want to Turn on the Tap of a Familiar Solvent” (C&EN, July ...

Organic chemist Bruce Lipshutz had a bit of a rude awakening. It was around 2007, and the head of environmental health and safety (EH&S) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, sat Lipshutz ...

The interactions of water vapor (moisture) with solid materials have impact over a wide range of industries and materials. For instance, in the pharmaceutical industry, the physical and chemical ...

A research team has developed novel giant acceptors with an oxygenated linker, enabling the creation of highly efficient nonhalogenated-processed organic solar cells (OSCs), with a power conversion ...

Organic chemistry is a scientific area of study that is used to describe the structure, properties, composition, reactions and preparation of all chemical compounds containing the element carbon. Some ...

Glycine replaces toxic precursors in solvent-free graphene production, yielding nanoplatelets with high conductivity and ...

Industrial solvents are everywhere in the military. Whether you are degreasing machinery or stripping paint, you probably use a chemical that contains a solvent. Exposure to those chemicals, though, ...
