In a collaborative effort, researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the HFML-FELIX institute in Nijmegen have been able ...

Energy labelling required an intermediate that was (1) short lived, so that the initial energy would still be present in its reactions, (2) open to multiple reaction pathways, which allows a ...

Organic chemistry features a wide array of reactions for creating complex molecules, among which the Diels–Alder reaction ...

Reaction intermediates, which are highly unstable substances that form in different steps in a reaction before the products are obtained, ...

The Criegee reaction intermediate is so fleeting and reactive that researchers created a stabilized version only once, in 1973, using a reaction involving harsh reagents—sulfuric acid and ...

However, visualizing short-lived intermediates in chemical reactions is quite challenging, especially if one needs to capture structural changes in a molecule at the atomic level.

Criegee intermediates (CIs)—highly reactive species formed when ozone reacts with alkenes in the atmosphere—play a crucial role in generating hydroxyl radicals (the atmosphere's "cleansing ...

Here, the normal reaction involves transferring four electrons to break down an O 2 molecule via hydroxide intermediates. With the new electrolyte swapped in, hydroxide intermediates stop forming.

But running the reaction in reverse would require lots of the end products, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. To do that, the authors reasoned, simply requires a bit of pressure.
