Copper radical mimics enzyme for highly efficient C-H oxidation

Optically pure alcohols are prevalent motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals, driving the development of effective methods for their synthesis. Since the first reports of the Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction in 1958, the ...

Using infrared heat transfer to modify chemical reactions

In a joint experimental-theoretical work, a team of researchers, including theorists from UC San Diego, have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can influence chemical reactions more ...

How a pervasive microorganism generates a greenhouse gas

Cornell researchers have discovered a way for ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA), one of the most abundant types of microorganisms on Earth, to produce nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas.
