Sustainable New Catalysts Fueled by a Single Proton
Published: February 13, 2013. by Boston College

CHESTNUT HILL, MA (Feb. 14, 2013) – Chemists at Boston College have designed a new class of catalysts triggered by the charge of a single proton, the team reports in the most recent edition of the journal Nature. The simple organic molecules offer a sustainable and highly efficient platform for chemical reactions that produce sets of molecules crucial to advances in medicine and the life sciences.
