The identification and quantification of both commercial (paints, coatings and fossil fuels) and naturally occurring VOCs has become an essential part of analytical chemistry. Volatile organic ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

A recent study conducted at The University of Osaka (Japan), based on the research team’s hypothesis that a non-destructive model for predicting fruit ripeness could be developed using volatile ...

Black in colour, used in making motor tyres and printing ink, production of light and energy, making methyl alcohol, formaldehyde and chloroform etc. It is used in fruit ripening and fruits ...

A team has shown that artificial photosynthesis is feasible using organic materials. Using the technique, they successfully synthesized useful organic compounds, including pharmaceutical materials, ...

Currently, there is no standard set for VOCs, but studies have found that levels of several organics average 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors. If something smells, there's a good chance it's ...

We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that ...

Crude oil is a finite resource. Petrol and other fuels are produced from it using fractional distillation. Cracking is used to convert long alkanes into shorter, more useful hydrocarbons. More organic ...
