From H.E.L GroupOct 28 2026Reviewed H.E.L…
"The olefin metathesis reaction is among the most widely applicable catalytic reactions for carbon-carbon double bond formation," explained Satoshi Takebayashi, a researcher at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) who was involved in the work. "Carbon-carbon…
A Chinese Academy of Sciences team showed that tailored zeolite pores can catalyze propene and ethene carbonylation without precious metals or organic ligands. Researchers at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have demonstrated two…
ZrâFe hydroxides exhibit diverse morphologies and compositions, and their synthesis outcomes vary significantly based on the Zr:Fe ratio. High-performance electrocatalysts require ultrathin ZrâFe nanosheets with uniform Zr incorporation and stable... Uncover the latest and most impactful research…
Many commercial products, including plasticizers and detergents, rely on aldehyde building blocks. Hydroformylation constructs aldehydes from alkenes and synthesis gas—a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The industrial process currently uses rhodium-based catalysts that are expensive, involve toxic phosphine-containing…
Carbonylation — the chemical process of attaching carbon monoxide to hydrocarbon molecules — is a fundamental building block of the modern chemical industry, underpinning the production of bulk and fine chemicals such as acetic acid, plasticizers, fragrances, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The breakthrough,…
POSTECH announced on the 20th that a research team led by Professor Seung Hwan Cho in the Department of Chemistry has developed a synthetic method that creates two side-by-side stereocenters within a single molecule in one reaction step and achieves the…
Carbonylation is used to produce aldehydes, carboxylic acids and esters. It is usually catalysed by homogeneous metal complexes containing ligands and iodide promoters, while Koch reported that protons in mineral acids can also catalyse the reaction. Previous studies showed that…
