Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is a linchpin of lithium-ion battery electrolytes, making up 30–35% of their composition due to its unique balance of solubility, safety, and stability. As global demand ...

Shedding insights into the acid-base properties at the atomic level is crucial for heterogeneous catalysis. How to detect and identify the geometric structure, exact position and the acid-base ...

Bifunctional acid−base catalysts are highly desirable for industrially relevant chemical processes. Owing to their ability to activate electrophiles and nucleophiles simultaneously, they allow the ...

Nagoya, Japan - Esters are among the most important classes of compounds in organic chemistry. Simple esters are known for their pleasant, often fruity aromas. Meanwhile, the larger, more complex ...
