Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical ... of bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes has been achieved through a Lewis-acid-catalysed [2 + 2] photocycloaddition, making it possible to obtain ...

Upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at room ...

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

The reaction also generates acetic acid and its developers believe it can compete economically with current manufacturing ...

Two new catalyst systems take aim at these problems. One catalyst splits ethanol to give hydrogen at 270 °C and produces ...

In a significant advancement for renewable energy technologies, a new catalyst has been developed that dramatically improves the efficiency and stability of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in ...

In a 1958 patent to Celanese (New York City), inventor Arthur W. Schnizer reported the reaction of acetaldehyde and acetic anhydride with a benzenesulfonic acid catalyst to produce vinyl acetate with ...

concept marked a major advancement in catalysis, particularly in small molecule activation. An FLP is made up of a combination of two components—one acting as a Lewis acid and the other as a ...
