The breadth of main group elements spanning the period table inherently lends itself to diverse chemistry, not least owing to the versatile reactivity of the s- and p-block elements. Research into ...

YELLOW AND BLUE make green. That color combination, familiar to children coloring with crayons, was not what chemist Richard A. Kemp was thinking when he first saw yellow and green crystals of a pure ...

This course aims to provide deepened and widened knowledge of concepts, reactivity, and synthesis in organic chemistry. It encompasses: carbonyl/enol/enolate chemistry, frontier molecular orbital ...

Transition metal oxides are a kind of catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes. However, they suffer from inferior alkenes yield due to the trade-off between conversion and selectivity ...

Think of bismuth as the Cinderella of the periodic table. Because it is surrounded by its toxic stepsiblings—the elements lead, tin, antimony, tellurium, and polonium—chemists often overlook bismuth ...

A research team led by Prof. Huang Qing from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new way to "edit" the internal ...

2025 Sir Edward Frankland Prize: awarded for advances in the chemistry of organo-Al(III) and Mg(II) compounds, and their applications in small-molecule activation and catalysis. Catalytic chemical ...

Researchers unveil a chemistry playbook to turn stubborn MAX phases into tunable 2D materials, blending MXene and dichalcogenide traits for energy storage and catalysis. Structural editing strategy ...

This themed collection aims to cast a spotlight on the transformative role of main group elements in the modern scientific landscape. Main group elements are among the most abundant and essential ...
