Radical chemistry in aqueous solutions encompasses the study of highly reactive species generated in water, which play critical roles in biological, environmental and industrial processes. In such ...

Scientists have measured how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on the molecule's opposite side. This work shows how molecules containing these ...

One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be familiar to you; these are the ...

You wouldn’t think that a paper published in 1900 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society with a rather unimposing ...

Smartphone torchlight powerful enough to generate bactericidal oxygen-centred organic radicals to purify water ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...

In conventional molecular semiconductor solar cells, the conversion of an absorbed photon into electrons and holes ...

Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerizations have emerged as a powerful and cost-effective approach for fabricating ultrathin polymer films with diverse functionalities. During this free ...

Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
