A strong acid catalyst and a small change to one reactant have transformed a 37-year-old 'curiosity' into a useful chemical reaction that has great potential in organic synthesis.

Modern fertilizer manufacturing uses the Haber-Bosch and Ostwald processes to fix aerial nitrogen as ammonia, then oxidize ...

A digital, data-driven framework enabled the identification of RbSbWO 6 as a durable, low-cost catalyst for both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions in acidic water splitting.

An international team of collaborators – including researchers from the University of Toronto and Huazhong University of Science and Technology – has created a catalyst that efficiently transforms ...

It is highly water-soluble and a strong acid with a pK a of –2.8. It has been known since at least the 1880s; its synthesis, which goes back to 1916, is via the reaction of benzene with hot ...
