Chemistry for a Raney day
(02 Dec 2008)
Spanish and Mexican scientists have stumbled across a new way to monoalkylate amines that they claim is more environmentally friendly than alternative routes.José García Ruano, at the Autonomous University of Madrid, and colleagues were using Raney ...

Brushing up on sensors
(14 Nov 2008)
Jason Locklin and his colleagues from the University of Georgia have developed covalently bound polymer brushes that can bind metal ions when irradiated with UV light. The polymer brushes, containing spiropyran moieties, were synthesised using atom ...

Mechanical calculations for methyl transfer in solution
(13 Nov 2008)
Ian Williams and colleagues at the University of Bath, UK, have demonstrated that kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) for a prototypical SN2 methyl transfer in solution, and in an enzyme active site, show significant variations in magnitude owing to ...

UK fingerprint "developer” can read a letter from its envelope
(12 Nov 2008)
UK scientists have discovered a fingerprint "developer” which can highlight invisible prints on almost any surface – and read the text of a letter just from the envelope it was sent in. Paul Kelly and colleagues at Loughborough University found that ...

Transition to sustainable catalysis
(11 Nov 2008)
Japanese scientists have discovered a cheap and enantioselective catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation reactions
Yasumasa Hamada and colleagues at Chiba University used a combination of nickel acetate and a commercially available phosphine ligand to catalyse the asymmetric hydrogenation of an alpha-amino-beta-keto ester hydrochloride. Although others have ...

Multi-functional organometallic switch
(10 Nov 2008)
French chemists have created a multi-functional organometallic switch which can be triggered using either light or electric potential
Stéphane Rigaut, Corinne Lagrost, Karine Costuas and colleagues from CNRS-University of Rennes have prepared a photo/electrochromic multifunctional switching system, based on Irie's dithienylethene photochromic unit ([Cl(dppe)2Ru]+ where dppe = ...

UK chemists warn of funding crisis
(22 Oct 2008)
Sharp drop in grant numbers hits young scientists and blue skies research
Senior researchers have warned that a sharp drop in the number of research grants awarded this year risks damaging UK chemistry. Young chemists applying for first-time grants have suffered most under widespread changes to the funding strategy of the ...

From Enzymes to MOFs
(17 Oct 2008)
UK scientists have used dioxygenase enzymes to create enantiopure organic molecules, which in turn have been used to create chiral metal-organic frameworks. Dioxygenase enzymes were sourced from modified bacterial whole cells (mutants), isolated ...

Silica micro-tube networks
(01 Oct 2008)
Liming Tang and colleagues from Tsinghua University in China, have prepared functional silica micro-tube networks (MTN) using an organogel as a template and a silane-based precursor, via a simple procedure.g-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) was ...

Captain Birdseye’s robotic nose
(30 Sep 2008)
The Captain can’t freeze smelly fish that’s past its best – and Icelandic scientists can now help him out by detecting the levels of stench-making bacteria faster than ever before.The research in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Journal of ...
