Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the growth of crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks, unlocking a new class ...

In an effort to open the door to new and useful products, chemistry researchers are on the continual lookout for processes that unlock important molecules and the bonds that can put them together.

A blue-gloved hand holds a 1,536-well plate for high-throughput reaction screening. Using 1,536-well plates, like this one, Tim Cernak and his team carried out over 50,000 C–N coupling reactions.

According to organic chemistry dogma, if you generate a radical on a chiral carbon, it’s going to lose its stereochemistry and racemize. But a new cross-coupling reaction that forges bonds between ...
