One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of iridium with stable terdentate “pincer” ligands as alkane dehydrogenation catalysts: Calculations suggest that pincer ligands with ...

Snake case is a naming convention where a developer replaces spaces between words with an underscore. Most object-oriented programming languages don't allow variable, method, class and function names ...

Trisubstituted alkenes are major constituents of biologically active molecules and serve as key substrates for a broad range of stereospecific reactions that form sp 3-hybridized scaffolds.However ...
