120 year old cold case for the Grignard reaction is finally solved

The Grignard reaction is used to synthesize carbon-carbon bonds, a crucial step for making new molecules for academic and industry uses. Finding efficient and selective methods for this reaction has been the target of the research activity for more than 100 years. Incredibly enough, the way the Grignard reaction works has been unknown – until now.
