Free radicals are neutral species bearing one or more unpaired electrons. Their unique reactivity underpins an extraordinary range of bond‐forming and bond‐cleavage processes, from organic synthesis ...

Free radicals have a terrible reputation. These reactive and unstable molecules have been associated with cancer, aging, and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Yet the body constantly produces ...

One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be familiar to you; these are the ...

Radical chemistry underpins many of the fundamental reactions that drive oxidative stress in biological systems. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, initiate chain ...

A new technique produces hydrogen radicals using mild conditions and off-the-shelf reagents. The method eliminates the harsh conditions that have previously been required to generate these extremely ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be ...
