Nature Catalysis
This journal brings together researchers from across all chemistry and related fields, publishing work on homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysts, incorporating both fundamental and applied studies.
Direct arene C−H functionalization via nucleophilic aromatic substitution remains a challenging task. Here we report an iridium nitrenoid-catalysed arene C−H functionalization strategy, making use of readily available aryl azides as electrophiles to react with different nucleophiles.
Innovations in Acetylene Semi-Hydrogenation Catalysts with Barrier-Less Activation Energy
Step into the world of catalyst design for ethylene production! With polyethylene demand soaring, ensuring pure ethylene streams is critical. Join us on this exciting journey as we explore the vital role of catalysts in meeting demand and optimizing production.
In situ observation of ligand-induced electrocatalytic microenvironment formation at the nanometer scale
We probed a bias-induced ligand-assisted formation of an electrochemical microenvironment at the nanometer scale using in situ nano-FTIR and Raman spectroscopies.
Structure-function analysis of a new type of amide bond forming enzyme
The condensation enzyme CcbD catalyzes an amide bond formation between the carrier protein-tethered proline and thiooctose in the biosynthesis of lincosamide antibiotics. Here, we report the structure-function analyses of CcbD by in vitro characterization, crystallization, and mutagenesis.
