Vicinal dihalides—molecules that feature halogen atoms on adjacent carbons—are useful as flame retardants, as pesticides, and as intermediates en route to polymers and pharmaceuticals. But making ...

As global energy and environmental challenges intensify, solar-driven photocatalysis has emerged as a promising pathway for sustainable chemical conversion. Metal halide perovskites (MHPs), with their ...

An electric field could make an unlikely nucleophilic substitution reaction feasible by fixing the reactants in place and lowering the reaction energy barrier, according to a theoretical study (J. Am.

Halides hold promise for improving the performance of catalysts used in carbon dioxide conversion. A team of scientists has examined the recent progress and challenges related to halides, and provided ...
