With a new polymer that only attracts certain substances from solutions when electrically activated, researchers have taken a ...

A research team based in Bochum and Mülheim is using a new type of salt to specifically produce one of two possible ...

Chlorine, bromine and iodine are the three common Group 7 elements. Group 7 elements form salts when they react with metals. The term ‘halogen’ means ‘salt former’.

In scenarios where two mirror-image molecules are possible, special catalysts are required to produce only the desired one. A research team is using salts that control the desired reaction via halogen ...

A conventional method for generating organolithium compounds is done by reacting organohalide compounds, molecules containing a carbon–halogen bond, with lithium metal in an organic solvent. For ...

"Halogen bonds are weak bonds formed between ... ensures the correct handedness of the resultant molecule. "The salt is introduced to the relevant substrates in a compatible solvent.
