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.

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed an iron-catalyzed method that overcomes a significant challenge in the sustainable synthesis of trisubstituted Z-alkenes by ...

Research in the Neely group focuses on the fundamental chemistry of first-row transition metal catalysis. This work relies on insights from inorganic, organometallic, and organic chemistry to ...

We are very grateful to the Nuffield Foundation for funding this project: Substituted parenting: what does this mean in the family court? - Nuffield Foundation ‌The Nuffield Foundation is an ...

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.

They are produced by chain growth polymerization of olefins (alkenes) and contain greater than 85% polymerized ethylene ... They contain at least 85% of polymericester of a substituted aromatic ...

After confirming the initial results, we expanded our testing to include a variety of substituted aromatic aldehydes," explains Prof. Yuan. The team evaluated substrates with different ...

Any substitute not named by this time may not take part in the match. To replace a player with a substitute, the following must be observed: the referee must be informed before any substitution is ...

MANCHESTER UNITED were held at Old Trafford by FC Twente in a frustrating game - especially for Christian Eriksen. The Dane started in midfield for United and opened the scoring on 35 minutes with ...
