Benzene is big business. A natural part of crude oil, the chemical is a starting material for plastics, drugs, detergents, and more. Yet because of the molecule’s hardiness, limited chemical pathways ...

This news release is available in Japanese. Tuning the para position of benzene moieties is significant for creating biologically active compounds and optoelectronic materials. Yet, attaching a ...

This illustration visualizes a novel electrochemical transformation in which a single carbon atom—derived from a diazo compound—is selectively inserted into the pyrrole ring via a distonic radical ...

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 ...

Scientists have demonstrated a way to use a metallic complex, trinuclear titanium hydride, to accomplish the task of activating benzene by breaking the aromatic carbon-carbon bonds at relatively mild ...

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 ...

Tuning the para position of benzene moieties is significant for creating biologically active compounds and optoelectronic materials. Yet, attaching a functional handle specifically at the para ...

(Nanowerk News) Tuning the para position of benzene moieties is significant for creating biologically active compounds and optoelectronic materials. Yet, attaching a functional handle specifically at ...
