An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons. An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons.

Unactivated alkanes are difficult to functionalize, and most catalysts that derivatize them by opening hydrocarbon C–H bonds are based on precious transition metals. Researchers have now developed a ...

The solubility of water in cycloalkanes (cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes) found in crude oil as a function of temperature has been calculated. In addition, we have developed a new correlation for ...

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated means that the hydrocarbon has only single bonds and that the hydrocarbon contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. Unsaturated ...

A new correlation calculates the water solubility for a wide variety of hydrocarbons found in a typical crude oil-alkanes, olefins, diolefins, acetylenes, cyclopentanes, cyclohexanes, benzenes, ...

Hydrocarbons are the Organic compounds obtained by the simple combination of hydrogen and carbon-like petrol, diesel, and kerosene oil, etc. It is usually divided into two categories: Aliphatic ...
