The conversion of alkenes to esters is performed on a large scale worldwide, but relies on the use of toxic and flammable carbon monoxide. Here, the authors show a catalytic system where carbon ...

It explains the atomic structure of carbon, including its hybridization and bonding characteristics, which allow it to form a vast array of compounds, including hydrocarbons and polymers.

Complete combustion of alkenes produces carbon dioxide and water, provided there is a plentiful supply of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of alkenes occurs where oxygen is limited and produces water ...
