The Method to our Chemistry

Chemistry : The Key to our Future

Chemistry has a central role in science, and synthesis has a central role in chemistry. The synthetic chemists should focus their efforts to merge it with other fields to produce more interdisciplinary science. Chemical synthesis has now reached an extraordinary level of sophistication, but there is vast room for improvement. The 3Rs (reduction, recycling and reuse) of resources are particularl...

The Chemistry of Enaminones, Diazocarbonyls and Small Rings: Our Contribution

Depois de trinta e dois anos no Brasil e de aposentada da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, a autora gostaria de apresentar este resumo representando uma grande parte da pesquisa em metodologia sintética desenvolvida pelos grupos de pesquisa de Albert J. Kascheres e da autora no Instituto de Química da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Contribuições foram feitas nas áreas de enaminonas, diazo...

Framework Chemistry Transforming our Perception of the Solid State

Articles on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers usually start with the great promises these materials have for future applications, and the report on the “retrofitting” of MOF520 by Kapustin et al. in this issue of ACS Central Science is no exception. I have no objection to that, but I want to take the opportunity to also highlight something that is perhaps taken fo...

Allergic contact dermatitis to plants: understanding the chemistry will help our diagnostic approach.

Allergic contact dermatitis due to plants is common. Potentially allergenic plants and plant products are found in many everyday environments, such as the home, the garden, the workplace, and recreational settings. By improving our knowledge of allergenic plant-derived chemical compounds, we will be better positioned to identify novel allergens. We review the most relevant chemical allergens th...
