RESOLV member, Prof. Benjamin List, and his team found a group of catalysts that let “lazy” aliphatic hydrocarbons react. This work was published in Nature.
Nature: RESOLV PI Benjamin List and his team developed a new method to create complex molecules from simple ones in a single step. Polyene cyclization can form multiple carbon bonds, rings, and specific 3D structures.
Cell Rep Phys Sci.:Researchers are constantly pushing the limits of technology by breaking new ground in CO2 conversion. Their goal is to turn the harmful greenhouse gas into a valuable resource.
Researchers have identified a mechanism that promotes the breakdown of harmful protein deposits. If it malfunctions, it can lead to Parkinson’s disease.
In aqueous electrolytes, aldehydes exist in three forms: The non-hydrated aldehyde, the diol, and the diolate. This studiy show that all three species exhibit electroactivity. Hence, it is possible to formulate approaches for addressing the OH−-induced decomposition of aldehydes during the electrochemical oxidation of aldehydes.
In collaborative cooperation, three RESOLV groups show how to alter the chirality dynamics of a single molecule through tip-induced van der Waals interactions.
