Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is a linchpin of lithium-ion battery electrolytes, making up 30–35% of their composition due to its unique balance of solubility, safety, and stability. As global demand ...

Cationic organic intermediates participate in a wide variety of useful synthetic transformations, but their high reactivity can render selectivity in competing pathways difficult to control. Here, we ...

Speaking in a Division of Polymer Chemistry session Tuesday, Coates noted that the polyacetal polymer is stable up to 325 °C. However, once researchers combine this plastic with a strong acid catalyst ...

Many alkene reactions generate chiral products that form as a mixture of two mirror-image isomers, known as enantiomers. Each enantiomer of a compound interacts with other chiral molecules in a ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

This lab includes a demonstration of the proper use of a burette system for titrations; including a detailed description, instructional video, and opportunity for students to collect data to ...
