Biologists have discovered a phosphorus-based bacterial metabolism that is both new and ancient. In a special role: a calculation from the 1980s, a sewage plant, a new bacterial organism, and a ...

Salts containing ortho-phosphite anions have now been synthesised by mechanochemically reducing phosphate compounds.

Scientists may not know for certain whether life exists in outer space, but research now shows that one key element that produced life on Earth was carried here on meteorites. In a new study, ...

And when the USF team cracked this one open, they discovered a strange new form of calcium phosphite. “We have never seen this material occur naturally on Earth – minerals similar to it can be found ...

A class of olefin metathesis catalysts that contains phosphite ligands has advantages over current catalysts for some challenging reactions, such as ring-closing metatheses of hindered dienes, ...

Monopotassium phosphite is a chemical compound with the molecular formula KH 2 PO 3. It is a salt of phosphorous acid and is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture. Monopotassium phosphite ...

Doverphos S9228 is a solid phosphite anti-oxidant that has high molecular weight of 852, low volatility, and a high phosphorous content. It provides good thermal stability and low volatility at ...

Our story begins at the end of the 1980s, with a sheet of paper. On this sheet, a scientist calculated that the conversion of the chemical compound phosphite to phosphate would release enough energy ...
