Developed by Scientists in China, the solar cell reportedly achieved the highest open-circuit voltage ever recorded for an inverted perovksite PV device. The lead carbanion layer was responsible ...

In the realm of reactivity, the vinyl carbocation is a beast so fleeting, so keen to combine or rearrange, that many have doubted that it can be tamed to create molecules in a stereoselective way ...

It is easier to form more substituted carbocations because of destabilisation in the parent substrate, rather than stabilisation in the reactive intermediate, new research shows. 1 Nearly 20 years ago ...

Vinyl cation busts some new moves By tweaking its counter ion, classic carbocation inserts into C-H bonds by Bethany Halford ...

This study revealed the development of a novel iridium based catalyst. The catalyst is capable of accessing the carbocation intermediates of the reaction to achieve an unprecedented level of ...

Here, we show that naturally occurring carbonyls can be used as latent alkyl carbanion equivalents for additions to carbonyl compounds, via reductive polarity reversal.

German scientists have solved the long-sought crystal structure of an ion at the frontline of a war of interpretation that raged for years. Karsten Meyer from Friedrich-Alexander-University in ...

Thiamin diphosphate, the vitamin B1 coenzyme, plays critical roles in fundamental metabolic pathways that require acyl carbanion equivalents. Studies on chemical models and enzymes had suggested that ...

Reaction of cyclopropenylium ions with the tert-butyl-C60 anion: carbocation–carbanion coordination vs salt formation. Tetrahedron 2001, 57 (17) , 3537-3547.
