[ad_1] Molecular cages, in which host molecules cling to the outer surfaces of the cages rather than entering an internal cavity, could reduce the environmental impact of separating blends of industrial chemicals, KAUST research suggests. Large-scale molecular separations performed by the chemical industry collectively account for up to 15% of …

[ad_1] The periodic table of the elements, created mainly by the Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance as an organizing principle in chemistry: all budding chemists know it from the earliest stages of their education. Given the …
