For Frank Leibfarth, focussing on reactivity and selectivity helps him bridge the gap between fundamental and applied ...

Plastics are great, except when it comes to making or disposing of them. Production generally requires the use of chemicals derived from fossil fuels, and so helps to continue our reliance on them.
