Few roads lead to meta, much to the chagrin of organic chemists trying to build compounds of particular shapes. Now researchers have found a simple way of getting molecules into the coveted meta ...

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 ...

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 ...

A version of this story appeared in Volume 95, Issue 16 Investigating the solid’s structure revealed a bilayer with the CO 2 molecules sandwiched between sheets on the inside and the hydrophobic ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Several crystalline polymorphs have been discovered for picryl bromide. Among the several forces that control the formation of such polymorphs ...

Figure 1. A typical polysiloxane structure, where R = CH3, phenyl (aromatic carbon ring), F3CCH2CH2, and CHCH2.(click image to enlarge) Drug-delivery systems are some of the most rapidly proliferating ...

The possibilities for material design and production of plastic components are being expanded through 3D printing technology. However, there is a shortage of recyclable polymers that meet the ...
