Metal complexes serve as versatile catalysts by orchestrating bond-making and bond-breaking events through well-defined mechanistic pathways. Central steps often involve oxidative addition, wherein a ...

A research team has synthesized a new polyoxometalate-based metal-organic complex that they then tested as a catalyst for the oxidation reactions of various sulfides. They found that the complex ...

Professor Huang Hanmin's research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a new paradigm of metal electron-shuttle ...

Zeolites encapsulated metal and metal oxide species (regarded as metal@zeolite) is an important type of heterogeneous catalysts. They give performances that steadily outperform the traditional ...

The production of more than 90 percent of all chemical products we use in our everyday lives relies on catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, can reduce the energy required for these ...

The iron-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes undergoes two potential energy surfaces, the triplet (red) and quintet (blue) states, where the spin crossover effectively lowers the reaction energy ...
