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 ...

The film discusses the significance of carbon, highlighting its presence in 90% of known compounds and its various forms, such as diamond and graphite. It explains the atomic structure of carbon, ...

A team has introduced a strategy for converting carbon-nitrogen atom pairs in a frequently used ring-shaped compound into carbon-carbon atom pairs. The method has potential in the quest for active ...

A novel nanomaterial has emerged. Chemists at the University of Oregon have discovered a method to create carbon-based molecules with a distinct structural feature: interlocking rings. These ...

Oxaborine may sound boring, but Guangbin Dong and his team at the University of Chicago have found that they can turn this single precursor into 11 different molecular cores. Their modular method ...
