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 ...

To better understand the structure-metabolism relationship between functional groups and AOX as well as to establish general guidelines for non-cytochrome P450 drug metabolism, researchers from the ...

Chemists have created the first-ever half-Möbius molecule. The orbitals of the 13-carbon ring twist by only a quarter turn ...

An international team with researchers from the University of Bayreuth presents a potentially groundbreaking discovery for nitrogen chemistry in "Nature Chemistry". For the first time, a compound ...

THE most obvious evidence of interaction of some kind between aromatic polynitro compounds and other aromatic substances is the isolation of many crystalline compounds containing the two components in ...

The novel compound is a new chapter in a story that began in 1825, when English scientist Michael Faraday first isolated benzene from gas lights. Benzene would later be identified as one of a class of ...

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 ...

The first stable all-silicon aromatic ring compound, the cyclotrisilenylium cation, has been synthesized by a group in Japan after years of theoretical speculation and failed attempts. The molecule ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka have developed a synthetic method that reliably and efficiently incorporates boron-rich carborane clusters into aromatic compounds as simple as "mixing and ...

Aromatic medicinal plants derive their therapeutic value from complex mixtures of volatile compounds, yet the genetic logic that shapes these chemical profiles has long remained elusive.
