Highly efficient molybdenum-based catalysts for enantioselective alkene metathesis (Nature)
Discovery of efficient catalysts is one of the most compelling objectives of modern chemistry. Chiral catalysts are in particularly high demand, as they facilitate synthesis of enantiomerically enriched small molecules that are critical to developments in medicine, biology and materials science. Especially noteworthy are catalysts that promote—with otherwise inaccessible efficiency and ...

Researchers shed new light on catalyzed reactions (EurekAlert!)
( Rice University ) Rice University scientists searching for a better way to clean up the stubborn pollutant TCE have found a new way to watch the molecules break apart as individual chemical bonds are formed and broken. Researcher Michael Wong says, "We can watch how molecules transform into other molecules step-by-step. There's no other method that lets you 'see' these catalyzed reactions in ...
