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 ...

In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of ...

The concept of aromaticity underpins much of modern organic chemistry, describing the unusual stability and reactivity of cyclic molecules whose π-electrons are delocalised over a planar framework.

How can aromatic compounds be separated from aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...

Circularly conjugated compounds with 4n+2 pi-electrons are known as aromatic compounds. They are generally stable and are therefore found in our surroundings. On the other hand, anti-aromatic ...

Electrochemical reactions for synthesis of organic compounds would find wider applications if they were independent of power supply. Now, researchers have exploited the flow of electrolytes in an ...

Calculations of the molecule’s magnetic properties show that electrons circulate continuously around the bismuth ring—a key ...

Pyridines, molecules consisting of one nitrogen and five carbons in a six-membered aromatic ring, are an important chemical stepping stone for a variety of drugs, agricultural products, and materials.

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...
