Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

A series of compounds featuring fused six-membered silicon rings represents a step up in complexity for the class of ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Working in tandem, a quantum computer and a supercomputer modelled the behaviour of several molecules, paving the way for ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...
