Proton affinity and gas-phase basicity define the intrinsic tendency of a neutral organic molecule to accept a proton in vacuo, providing fundamental thermodynamic metrics of basic strength beyond ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

A catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino ...

Tertiary amines, made of a nitrogen bound to three carbons, occur frequently in drug structures but are complicated to make. Synthesis often requires multiple steps under different reaction conditions ...

Alkanolamines are polyfunctional molecules that include the properties of both alcohols and amines, and because of this they serve as key intermediates in the development of a wide range of products.

Osaka University group demonstrates a catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino acids—the ...
