A research team at the University of Münster led by chemist Prof Frank Glorius has synthesized so-called heteroatom-substituted cage-like 3D molecules. The innovative structures could help address 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chemical reactions that form carbon–carbon bonds are of central importance to both biological and organic chemistry. Transformations that forge connections between aromatic rings and alkyl halide ...

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 ...
