A series of Ni-promoted W2C catalysts was prepared and evaluated for the catalytic conversion of cellulose into ethylene glycol
Selective Cellulose Conversion
Shifting Silicon with Boron Ligands
Stabilizing an organosilicon compound makes it behave more like a transition metal than a carbene-type compound

Technical Center in Singapore extended to include dispersion applications for the paints and coatings industry
Bio Spin on Gas Separation
A supported bio-metal organic framework membrane could provide an effective system for separating methane from carbon dioxide
CO2 Sequestration with Amidophosphoranes
Amidophosphoranes containing four-membered rings react rapidly to capture of one and two equivalents of carbon dioxide, respectively
Enantioselective Brønsted Base Catalysis
Cyclopropenimines are shown to be a highly effective new class of enantioselective Brønsted base catalysts
Genetically Encoded pH Sensor
