Tomsk Polytechnic University's chemists have found a way to avoid producing a large amount of toxic waste during carbon-carbon bond formation. Ordinary water instead of toxic solvents is preferred. New methods have been developed from a long-term palladium-catalyzed reaction study for which the 2010 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded.
