Ionic liquids are molten salts that have excellent chemical and thermal stability. Because
they have qualities inherent to some precepts of green chemistry, they are identified as a …

One of the remaining “grand challenges” in chemistry is the development of a next
generation, less expensive, cleaner process that can allow the vast reserves of methane …

Method B 692 3.7. Selective Trifluoromethylation of Multi-Functional Substrates 693 3.8.
Enantioselective Trifluoromethylation 695 3.8. 1. Aldehydes and Ketones: With Cinchona …

The past 20 years have witnessed rapid development of reticular chemistry, 1, 2 which is
concerned with linking molecular building units with strong chemical bonds to form …

Lewis acids play a major role in all areas of chemistry. For a long time, toxic, corrosive and
oxidizing SbF5 was considered as the strongest Lewis acid known. Lately, species …

Superacids, defined as acids with a Hammett acidity function H 0≤− 12, are useful
materials, but a need exists for new, designable solid state systems. Here, we report …

In this short review, we highlight the recent advances in methane conversion processes at
high and low temperatures. Methane conversion processes are of great importance in …

Anti-van't Hoff–Le Bel configured p-block element species possess intrinsically high
reactivity and are thus challenging to isolate. Consequently, numerous elements in this …

Motivated by the discovery of main group Lewis acids that could compete or possibly
outperform the ubiquitous organoboranes, several groups, including ours, have engaged in …

The field of Surface Organometallic Chemistry (SOMC) aims to blend the positive attributes
of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Significant insight into heterogeneous …
