The properties of carbon-based nanomaterials can be altered and engineered through the deliberate introduction of certain structural 'imperfections'. The challenge, however, is to control the number ...

ALL previous attempts to synthesise an optically active carbon compound have been based on one principle they have involved the combination of an inactive compound, containing an ethylene linkage or a ...

A team of organic chemists at ITbM, Nagoya University, has developed a new reaction to directly install amines into carbonyl compounds using their unique phase-transfer catalyst. This unprecedented ...
