In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of metal atoms, the heaviest of its kind ever confirmed. The team stabilized an ...

A group from Nagoya University in Japan has succeeded in performing a difficult reaction to build the bases that make polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) used in organic LEDs, transistors, and ...

Aromatic modules are characterized by a ring shape and a special bonding situation that allows electrons to move freely around the ring if positioned in a magnetic field. The increased stability ...

A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion into polysubstituted pyrroles. Their approach has important applications in ...

Organometallic compounds tend to marry metals with aromatic hydrocarbons so that the metal sits above or below the carbon-based group’s flat plane and interacts with the hydrocarbon’s p orbitals. The ...

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 ...
