To help students learn to recognize common organic functional groups when given chemical formulas and names, students can use an organic chemistry functional group playing card deck to play any card ...

The electronic sphere of influence in transition metals is bigger than chemists thought. On Wednesday at the ACS Fall 2022 meeting in the Division of Inorganic Chemistry, postdoctoral researcher Chris ...

Aliphatic alcohols are cheap, widely available, and very stable building blocks for chemical synthesis and drug discovery. Now, a team of chemists has found a way to add functional groups to them in ...

There are three types of alcohol molecules. The type of alcohol is determined by the position of the hydroxyl functional group. A primary alcohol is one in which the hydroxyl group (–OH) is attached ...

Researchers have engineered bacteria to synthesize an amino acid that contains a rare functional group that others have shown to have implications in the regulation of our immune system. The ...
