Researchers employed the gold electrode and attached the target molecules onto the electrode. Just like functional groups generate diverse electronic effects, one electrode fits all reactions as the ...

Aliphatic alcohols are cheap, widely available, and very stable building blocks for chemical synthesis and drug discovery. Now, a team of chemists has found a way to add functional groups to them in ...

Scientists use quantum many-body data and machine learning to boost density functional theory accuracy for chemistry and ...

The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...

One of the most important frontiers in materials chemistry is the architectural control of synthetic materials on the nanometer-scale. Nanometer-scale architecture is primarily responsible for the ...

The Functional Inorganic Materials Synthesis Laboratory, directed by Anne Stevens Assistant Professor Jill Wenderott, focuses on the realization of inorganic and hybrid materials for energy and ...

Chemists use density functional theory (DFT) to accurately approximate the exact properties—like free energies—of molecules or materials in a reasonable amount of time. The method is widely used even ...
