Introduction [2] Clathrate hydrates or gas hydrates consist of a hydrogen-bonded water lattice surrounding a guest molecule of such natural gases such as CH 4, C 2 H 6, CO 2, or H 2 S. Methane gas hydrate, the most common type occurring in nature, forms at pressure and temperature conditions common in the uppermost tens to hundreds of meters of sediments in permafrost regions …
More DetailsSandmeyer reaction is a type of substitution reaction that is widely used in the production of aryl halides from aryl diazonium salts. Copper salts like chloride, bromide or iodide ions are used as catalysts in this reaction. Notably, Sandmeyer reaction can be used to perform unique transformations on benzene.
