A team based at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has reported the first demonstration of selective electrochemical ...

A research team based in Bochum and Mülheim is using a new type of salt to specifically produce one of two possible ...

In this video interview from Pittcon, we ask Christopher Palmer about developing novel polymeric materials for microscale liquid phase separations, as well as some of the current trends and challenges ...

In scenarios where two mirror-image molecules are possible, special catalysts are required to produce only the desired one. A research team is using salts that control the desired reaction via halogen ...

A conventional method for generating organolithium compounds is done by reacting organohalide compounds, molecules containing a carbon–halogen bond, with lithium metal in an organic solvent.

The researchers used salts as catalysts in which both components (cation and anion) play an important role: The cation sets the reaction in motion via halogen bonds. “Halogen bonds are weak ...
