In a recent study, Dr. Vojtěch Dočekal and Professor Jan Veselý from the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of ...

NUS has developed a new method that takes advantage of readily available nickel catalysts containing chiral and sterically ...

Kate Queeney is a physical chemist who specializes in the chemistry that takes place on solid surfaces. Her lab is exploring the combined effects of surface chemistry and surface nanotopography on the ...

Projects include: Study of first-row transition metal complexes of tetrapodal pentadentate ligands composed of N-heterocyclic carbenes, particularly in relation to small molecule activation and group ...

imines and N-heterocyclic carbenes. Strongly donating ligands tend to promote oxidative addition and retard migratory CO insertion, whereas sterically bulky ligands tend to have the opposite effects ...

While the focus is on radicals and carbenes, carbocations are discussed near the end of the term. The material covered is relevant to chemistry and biochemistry. Students who have received credit for ...

Notwithstanding their success as strongly σ-donating and π-accepting ligands, to date no chelating bis[cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes] have been reported. Here the authors describe a chelating ...
