A new reagent has moved carbon-atom transfer out of the chemical flatlands, allowing chemists to place a single carbon atom so that it makes bonds to four different substituents. The reagent makes ...

The number of bonds a carbon atom forms with other elements in a compound determines its chemical structure and behavior. Normally, a carbon atom shares all four of its valence electrons to create ...

Single-atom catalysts are at the cutting edge of catalysis research ... In SACs, the catalytically active single atoms are anchored onto supports such as carbon, metal oxides, or graphene. This ...
