An international team of chemists has discovered a new piece to the puzzle of how a powerful base used in organic synthesis, cesium carbonate, plays a pivotal role during a catalytic reaction. An ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

Metals, bases, certain metal hydroxides and certain metal carbonates, are insoluble in water. You add the base/carbonate/metal to the warm acid until no more will dissolve and you have some of the ...
