Zeolites encapsulated metal and metal oxide species (regarded as metal@zeolite) is an important type of heterogeneous catalysts. They give performances that steadily outperform the traditional ...

Researchers have helped minimize the cost of an important class of chemical transformations: converting nitriles into primary amines. Their experimental protocol uses a cheap nickel catalyst instead ...

A vial in a laboratory being illuminated by a blue-light lamp. Chemists at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that phosphine can exhibit metal-like behavior in photocatalytic reactions ...

Using a one-step sintering method, researchers introduced high-valence metal doping and defect engineering to construct the amorphous iridium oxide. This strategy reduced the energy barrier of the ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The researchers trigger the reaction with violet light. First, there is an electron transfer from an oxidant, a N-alkoxyphthalimide ester, to the ...
