Citation: For his fundamental work and revolutionary contributions for converting hydrocarbons to new molecules, polymers, and materials using olefin metathesis catalysis. Current position: Victor & ...

The impact of his work is significant in terms of both practical applications and fundamental understanding of asymmetric ...

How did complex hydrocarbons—the chemical building blocks of life—form in space? That was the question asked by team of researchers investigating the creation of pyrene, a hydrocarbon found in ...

A team of chemists and astronomers have made a discovery in the field of astrochemistry: the identification of cyanocoronene, the largest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ever detected in space.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are an abundant class of organic molecules in space, playing a significant role in the interstellar medium (ISM). These molecules, composed of fused carbon ...

ON March 24, a Royal Society Discussion was held on the subject of the physics and chemistry of hydrocarbon gels. Interest in these systems arose in the first instance from the desire to extend the ...

Congratulations to the past recipients of the George A. Olah Award in Hydrocarbon or Petroleum Chemistry, which recognizes, encourages, and stimulates outstanding research achievements in hydrocarbon ...

Determining the thermochemical properties of hydrocarbon molecules is important to understand carbon reservoirs and fluxes in the Earth. A computer modeling study published in the journal Proceedings ...

The petrochemical industry turns oil and gas into precursors used to synthesize lubricants and other critical products. Chemists show that bacteria can be metabolically engineered to generate similar ...

The ACS Green Chemistry Institute has partnered with chemistry instructors from over 45 institutions to develop green and sustainable chemistry education resources for undergraduate students studying ...
