A major advance in alkene oligomerization catalysis was Brookhart’s 1995 ... phosphine trans influence (i.e., a weakening of the trans metal-alkyl bond) and a reduction of metal electron density ...

It can convert fatty acids to 1-alkenes at the fastest rate currently ... They found that proteins called ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase, along with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ...

Using an advanced photochemical box model, the study identified alkene ozonolysis as the dominant driver of O₃ formation, rather than the traditional radical sources initiated by photolysis.

The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is characteristic of reaction with alkenes. (colorless) (purple) (colorless ...
