In the realm of soap and detergent manufacturing, achieving high purity and quality standards is a significant challenge due to the presence of trace impurities that can affect the final product's color, odor, and overall efficacy. Traditional purification methods often fall short in effectively removing these contaminants. However, the introduction...

When you think about perms, various images may come to mind; maybe the hair styles of the 80’s, or Carrie Bradshaw’s infamous curls. Perms are a popular cosmetic treatment that transforms straight hair into curls or waves. This transformation relies on breaking and reforming the disulfide bonds in keratin, the...

The treatment of HIV has undergone tremendous advancements since the introduction of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in the mid-1990s. Before HAART, treatment options were limited and primarily focused on monotherapy or dual therapy, which often led to rapid resistance and treatment failure. HAART, which typically combined three or more...

Part 4: CYPHOS® IL 104In the last several blogs we focused on trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide aka CYPHOS® IL 109 (CAS # 460092-03-9, Strem: 15-6370, 96-6520, Ionic Liquid Kit 3: CYPHOS® IL Phosphonium Salt Kit) in lubrication [1-3].This time we would like to talk about another PIL based on trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation, namely,...

Phosphine (PH3) is produced by Syensqo at industrial scales and it's derivatives are readily available in the Strem Catalog for R&D quantities. This simple, yet challenging molecule provides the basis for a wide variety of materials that serve our world in numerous ways. PH3 can be reacted with radical initiators...

Professor Zhang Yongqiang of Shandong University has developed a series of (Salen)Ti catalysts. This series of catalysts has a deep chiral environment, excellent enantioselective control, and covers the dual functions of chiral Lewis acids and chiral metal radicals. It can be used in many applications. A variety of chemical transformations...
