Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have successfully created in the laboratory a class of carbenes, highly reactive molecules, used to make catalysts - substances that facilitate chemical reactions. Until now, chemists believed these carbenes, called 'abnormal N-heterocyclic carbenes' or aNHCs, were impossible to make...
