Since our research focus for years has been on bio- and chemocatalytic synthesis in water, I read with great interest “Some Organic Chemists Want to Turn on the Tap of a Familiar Solvent” (C&EN, July ...

Water isn’t just a universal solvent that remains unaffected by its interactions. New publications from North Carolina State University show that water can change its solubility characteristics ...

Organic chemist Bruce Lipshutz had a bit of a rude awakening. It was around 2007, and the head of environmental health and safety (EH&S) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, sat Lipshutz ...

Water can change its solubility characteristics depending upon what it interacts with. Water isn't just a universal solvent that remains unaffected by its interactions. New publications from North ...
