Toward Greener Chemistry
Article Abstract:
Homogeneous catalysts have advantages over other catalytic systems but it is difficult and expensive to separate the catalyst from the product. Strategies that immobilize the catalyst in a liquid phase are being developed. The immobilized catalyst can easily be removed from the product. The approach is called biphasic catalysis.

Multifaceted chemistry
Article Abstract:
Chemical research on hydrocarbons has uncovered the fundamentals of carbocations and led to many practical applications. In the future chemists will be able to synthesize hydrocarbons from atmospheric carbon dioxide and the hydrogen in seawater.
