Researchers synthesized weird molecules that exist in three dimensions, breaking Bredt's rule and helping to develop future ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

Cubene and quadricyclene are descended from cubane and quadricylane, both cage-shaped structures with bonds that are fairly ...

A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has shown in a new study that ants returning from habitats ...

Carbon-hydrogen bond activation took a big step forward in 2000 when John F. Hartwig and coworkers reported an organometallic catalyst capable of directly converting normally unreactive alkanes into ...

UCLA researchers have violated Bredt’s rule, a century-old principle of organic chemistry, challenging our understanding of molecular shapes.

An artist’s rendition of the new catalytic method for asymmetric fragmentation of cyclopropanes. (Credit: YAP Co., Ltd.) An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in ...

This article discusses AFM studies of self-assembled semi-fluorinated alkanes on Silicon, HOPG, and MoS 2 substrates. Covalently linked sequences of -CF 2 - and -CH 2 - groups with -CF 3 and -CH 3 - ...

(Nanowerk News) The role of surface modification of nanoparticle catalysts in alkyne hydrogenation reactions was systematically investigated by the Center for Nanoscale Materials' NanoBio Interfaces ...
