Researchers Create Light-Activated Gold Nitrene Intermediate for Nitrogen Transfer Reactions

A team of chemists has developed a new method to generate and stabilize a reactive gold-based intermediate known as an aura-nitrene. The work, published in Nature Chemistry, focuses on a triplet diradical species that can be produced using light and then employed in controlled nitrogen-atom transfer processes. Metal-stabilized nitrenes serve as key transient species in...

Researchers Identify Large Hidden Geological Feature Under Antarctic Ice

A vast landscape lies concealed under more than three kilometers of ice in Antarctica. This feature links several major buried basins across the continent. Scientists are examining how this large fan-like formation developed as a result of Gondwana’s ancient separation. The finding challenges prior assumptions about East Antarctica’s stability. For many years, researchers viewed Antarctica...
