A new dual-layer coating has been developed that offers 99.6% protection against iron corrosion. Iron gives modern ...

Researchers have developed a highly effective dual-layer coating that provides 99.6% protection against iron corrosion. The ...

All this is thanks to the stabilization of a molecule known as a carbene, which is a specific type of water-reactive atom with six valence electrons. This is also important to understand the ...

A) Synthesis of carbenoid 6′ and carbene 7′. The reaction is clean and quantitative when LiHMDS is used as a base and pure THF as the solvent. ( B ) Three-dimensional space-filling model.

JANUARY 28, 2020 — The UTSA Department of Chemistry will host the third International Symposium on Carbene and Nitrene Chemistry from Feb. 5 to 7 at the historic Menger Hotel in San Antonio’s Alamo ...

Based on the comparisons, they found that plutonium’s bonding to the alkylidene and N-heterocyclic carbene ligands was more covalent than predicted, hinting that f-block elements’ behavior isn ...

The team used a two-step approach to remove the non-bonding electrons from a stable carbene intermediate to create a crystalline doubly oxidised carbene. Carbenes were first discovered at the ...

The proof-of-concept work, which incorporated carbene-transfer reactions into the metabolism of a strain of Streptomyces bacterium, demonstrates the possibility of a scalable microbial platform for ...

We herein identify a gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene compound as a highly potent antibacterial agent towards P. aeruginosa. The compound significantly attenuates P. aeruginosa virulence and leads to ...

Coordination ligands containing C and/or N donor atom(s) such as porphyrin, pincer-type cyclometalated and/or N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) can be employed to stabilize gold(III) ion for the ...
