Calculations of the molecule’s magnetic properties show that electrons circulate continuously around the bismuth ring—a key ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Cheap, strong, and versatile, plastic seemed like the perfect invention—until its staying power turned into a global headache. Now, Yokohama National University researchers have developed a ...

Using a unique strain of bacterium isolated from soil contaminated with petroleum products, IIT Bombay researchers can selectively remove from the environment toxic, aromatic pollutants such as ...

How can aromatic compounds be separated from aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

Few roads lead to meta, much to the chagrin of organic chemists trying to build compounds of particular shapes. Now researchers have found a simple way of getting molecules into the coveted meta ...

Aromaticity is one of chemistry’s oldest concepts to describe the behavior of molecules. Chemists created it 150 years ago to help visualize and explain the bonding, structure, and reactivity of ...

Science has achieved a lot of things that were once thought impossible. Splitting the atom, for instance. Thanks to a remarkable new breakthrough from Saarland University, in Saarbrücken, Germany, we ...
