Small-molecule catalysts are vital for countless chemical reactions. The development of these catalysts, which include transition-metal complexes and small organic molecules, is being stimulated ...
Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...
but as a growing number of small-molecule catalysts continue to rival the high enantioselectivities of enzymatic systems 8, the poor chemoselectivity observed in non-natural catalysis may also one ...
either large or small, natural or synthetic, with high enantiomeric purity. It also examined catalysts for the synthesis of stereo-regular polymers in which all of the chains are the same length.
