Since the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in the field of Supramolecular Chemistry in 1987, its protagonists have been announcing that this new discipline — referred to as 'chemistry beyond the ...

A new type of versatile economical photocatalyst that harnesses the visible portion of the sunlight spectrum has been developed by researchers from the University of Johannesburg. It is simple to ...

Bulky calixarene ligands can create nanoscale environments on iridium cluster catalysts that can control the bonding and activation of reactants. The key objective in catalysis research is improving ...

The bizarre behavior of an organic crystal called calixarene could help drive a hydrogen economy, suggests a new study. Researchers describe a crystal that, when exposed to air, absorbs molecules such ...

Nonporous crystals of a calixarene dimer have been found to selectively absorb and retain CO, CO 2, and other gases while mysteriously neglecting H 2. The chemists who discovered this phenomenon ...
