Chemical rope trick at molecular level: Mechanism research helps when 'trial and error' fails

In most industrial chemical reactions, catalysts combine with the starting materials and accompany them through intermediate stages to the product. In chemistry, this pathway is known as the reaction mechanism, and it is ...
