The photochemical dynamics of reactive intermediates encompasses the study of short-lived species such as nitrenes, carbenes and nitrenium ions that arise upon light absorption and undergo ultrafast ...

Reactive intermediates, such as carbocations, carbanions, radicals, carbenes, nitrenes, and organometallic species, play a crucial role in organic syntheses, yet their transient nature makes them ...

In the realm of reactivity, the vinyl carbocation is a beast so fleeting, so keen to combine or rearrange, that many have doubted that it can be tamed to create molecules in a stereoselective way. But ...

Led by Director CHANG Sukbok, scientists from the Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have made a breakthrough in understanding the ...

Immobilizing small synthetic molecules inside protein crystals proves to be a promising avenue for studying intermediate compounds formed during chemical reactions, scientists report. By integrating ...
