The hidden side of sulfur

(Université de Genève) The active element in the molecule that initiates transformations in synthetic organic chemistry, known as the catalyst, is often hydrogen. However, researcher from UNIGE has found that a sulfur atom can not only become an extremely effective catalyst but can also operate with greater precision. This discovery has the potential to revolutionize the world of synthetic organic chemistry. It paves the way for the creation of molecules that can be used in our daily life.
