Shedding insights into the acid-base properties at the atomic level is crucial for heterogeneous catalysis. How to detect and identify the geometric structure, exact position and the acid-base ...

The electron is an efficient catalyst for conducting various types of radical cascade reaction that proceed by way of radical and radical ion intermediates. But because electrons are omnipresent, ...

Bifunctional acid−base catalysts are highly desirable for industrially relevant chemical processes. Owing to their ability to activate electrophiles and nucleophiles simultaneously, they allow the ...

Recent crystallographic and functional analyses of RNA enzymes have raised the possibility that the purine and pyrimidine nucleobases may function as general acid-base catalysts. However, this mode of ...

Chemists have long known that catalytic Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites on metal and metal oxide surfaces help spark a range of reactions that are important in industrial chemical and fuel ...

The degradation pathway of the drug is closely related to the molecular structure of the drug. The ester group or amide bond in the molecular structure may be hydrolyzed under acid-base catalysis ...
