A group of students has designed a new catalyst that can render important chemical processes more sustainable. Their catalyst can create selective peroxide-like reagents literally from thin air and ...

Benzaldehyde readily undergoes autoxidation to form benzoic acid on exposure to air at room temperature. Yet it can be formed in high yield from, for example, benzyl alcohol by oxidation using a ...

Associate Professor Muhammet Uyanik (L), Professor Kazuaki Ishihara (R), and graduate student Ryutaro Kondo have improved their iodine-based catalyst system to work efficiently at lower temperatures, ...

A detailed understanding of the sources, transformations and fates of organic species in the environment is crucial because of the central roles that they play in human health, biogeochemical cycles ...
