Dynamically Disordered Solid Materials Described with Theoretical Models

Solid materials are actually not quite as solid as they seem. Generally, each atom usually vibrates around a specific position in the material. Most theoretical models that aim to define solid materials are based on the notion that the atoms keep their positions and do not travel great distances from them.

Olefin Enables Efficient Solvent-Free Cross-Coupling Reactions

A cross-coupling reaction is usually carried out in an organic solvent, resulting in the production of a huge amount of solvent waste, which is often hazardous to the environment. Hokkaido University researchers, in Japan, have developed a new approach making room for the execution of more environmentally friendly solvent-free solid-state cross-coupling processes using mechanochemistry.
