To date, we have measured rate coefficients for R+O2, R+NO, R+NO2, R+Cl2, R+Br2, R+I2, R+HCl, R+DCl (tunneling effect), and R+HBr reactions (see more in Publications). In some cases, the reverse ...

A new technique, based on a chain reaction of recognition and hybridization events between two sets of DNA hairpin molecules, offers an enzyme-free alternative for the rapid detection of specific ...

Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot. The slideshow shows this process.

For example, ethene reacts with water (in the presence of heat and a catalyst) to produce the alcohol ethanol. Addition polymerisation uses addition reactions to turn alkenes into polymers.

Our expert editors and marketers shape and amplify ideas to appeal to the broadest audience without sacrificing the underlying depth and rigor that separate HBR Press books from the rest.

Reaction Chemistry & Engineering Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons ...
