In chemistry, as in other art forms, a well-executed mash-up can be greater than the sum of its parts. The molecule’s simple structure consists of a carbon atom flanked by a triphenylphosphine (PPh 3) ...

Arylmetals are highly valuable carbon nucleophiles that are readily and inexpensively prepared from aryl halides or arenes and widely used on both laboratory and industrial scales to react directly ...

For humans and robots alike, handling tiny amounts of solid reagents—say, one milligram or less—is fiddly work. Now researchers have developed an ingenious workaround: simply coat the reagents onto ...
