Just a few atomic layers at the surface can strongly influence how effectively a material binds pollutants from water or how ...

Bioinorganic chemistry remains a vibrant discipline at the interface of chemistry and the biological sciences. Metal ions function in numerous metalloenzymes, are incorporated into pharmaceuticals and ...

Tetrahedranes are highly strained hydrocarbons with tetrahedral cores. Such molecules could serve as high-energy materials and building blocks, but they are difficult to make and isolate. To make the ...

Inorganic nanoparticles are nanoscale materials composed of inorganic compounds, such as metals, metal oxides, and semiconductors. These nanoparticles typically have sizes ranging from 1 to 100 ...

Perfume, rubbing alcohol, a cholesterol medication and even biological processes all depend on a chemical process called the aldol reaction. The reaction primarily combines compounds to form ...

As compared to organic chemistry, which is a study dedicated to carbon-containing compounds, the area of inorganic chemistry examines the properties and behaviors of all other compounds including ...

Bioinorganic chemistry is a field that focuses on the biochemistry of inorganic elements and compounds. This includes the dynamics of metal ions in living systems, the function of metalloproteins, and ...

Adding organic solvents to the crystallization solution allowed the chiral inorganic compound cesium copper chloride (CsCuCl₃) to form single-handed (enantiopure) crystals. Among the water-miscible ...

X-ray analysis shows how biochar made from coffee grounds and orange peels binds with minerals to capture or break down pollutants in water.
