For Lewis acids and bases, a little frustration goes a long way Chemists’ understanding of unquenched acid-base pair reactivity expands to include metal oxide surfaces ...

Chemical Properties of Acid and Base: Get here the basic information on the acids and bases properties, Brønsted-Lowry Theory, and Lewis Concept.

In systems using ‘cooperative catalysis’, the combination of Lewis acid and Lewis base activation can achieve greater selectivity and more efficient reactivity than either mode individually ...

Chemists have invented a new fluorescence-based method for accurately determining the strength of a range of Lewis acids, which could one day be used to help purify pharmaceutical drugs, improve ...

A unique strategy to achieve catalysis with Earth-abundant elements is based on 'frustrated Lewis pairs' (FLPs) 4, which are combinations of main group Lewis acids and Lewis bases that, by virtue ...

Acids and bases Acids, bases and alkalis are found in the laboratory and at home. Acids and bases can neutralise each other. A base that can dissolve in water is also called an alkali.

Students add laundry detergent powder (a base) and cream of tartar (an acid) to a red cabbage indicator to investigate the question: What can the color of an indicator tell you about the substances ...
