Chemists break down barriers between labs and institutions to join forces for a new way of doing organic synthesis. Chemists synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a revolutionary ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered what might be a critical step in the chemical evolution of molecules in cosmic “stellar nurseries.” In these vast clouds of cold gas and dust in ...

For the first time, MIT chemists have synthesized a fungal compound known as verticillin A, which was discovered more than 50 years ago and has shown potential as an anticancer agent. The compound has ...

Many of you are familiar with “sandwich” compounds in which a metal atom is complexed between two five- to eight-membered aromatic rings. Early examples are ...

Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible ...

A new superbase compound captures 156 mg of CO2 per gram and releases it using low heat. Pulling carbon dioxide straight from thin air usually comes with a heavy energy price. A new compound developed ...
