Ultrafast Spectroscopy Reveals the Potential of Alkanes

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Chemists have taken another step closer to understanding alkane activation reactions occurring at room temperature, thanks to an ultrafast spectroscopic technique that provides images at a rate of a trillionth of a second. Alkanes are compounds of carbon and hydrogen atoms held together by single bonds. The bonds in most alkanes tend to be strong enough to render them unreactive. In the 1980s, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of California, both at Berkeley, discovered a group of organometallic complexes that, when irradiated with UV light,...Read full article
