Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.9b13777). Beryllium in compounds is usually in the +2 oxidation state. The beryllium radical cation is in the +1 oxidation state. To make the radical cation ...

Moses Gomberg, a chemistry professor at the University of Michigan, discovered an organic free radical in 1900 and affirmed what had been thought impossible. A century later, free radical organic ...

These scientists developed a bioavailable compound -- available in a pill form -- that blocks free radical production. The compound both prevented and treated metabolic syndrome in mice.

In an email, Xu says the paper started with a serendipitous discovery made while he and his teammates were investigating supramolecular host-guest chemistry using phenothiazine radical cations.

As demand for advanced polymeric materials increases, post-functionalization has emerged as an effective strategy for ...

He says this feature is a strong reason to revisit the mitochondrial theory of aging. “These compounds fine-tune mitochondrial production of free radicals,” he said. “And it’s really interesting; just ...

Researchers found that the compound TEMPO can effectively suppress free radical formation and control the dangerous thermal decomposition of TBPB, significantly improving its safety profile during ...
