Nitrenes are the ghosts of synthetic chemistry, formed in an instant and gone just as quickly, rearranging into something ...

For decades, chemists have relied on boron-bound nitrenes as fleeting intermediates in synthesis, but no one has been able to ...

The photochemical dynamics of reactive intermediates encompasses the study of short-lived species such as nitrenes, carbenes and nitrenium ions that arise upon light absorption and undergo ultrafast ...

In the realm of reactivity, the vinyl carbocation is a beast so fleeting, so keen to combine or rearrange, that many have doubted that it can be tamed to create molecules in a stereoselective way. But ...

Chemical diversification of proteins is an important concept in the study of biological processes and the complex structures of the proteins themselves. Researchers from the Max Planck Society have ...

Immobilizing small synthetic molecules inside protein crystals proves to be a promising avenue for studying intermediate compounds formed during chemical reactions, scientists report. By integrating ...
