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 ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka have developed a synthetic method that reliably and efficiently incorporates boron-rich carborane clusters into aromatic compounds as simple as "mixing and ...

Anti-aromatic compounds, as well as small cyclic alkynes or carbynes, are particularly challenging synthetic goals. The combination of their destabilizing features hinders attempts to prepare ...

With growing concerns over fossil fuel depletion and the environmental impacts of petrochemical production, scientists are actively exploring renewable strategies to produce essential industrial ...

Aromaticity, a phenomenon in which delocalized bonding enhances the stability of cyclic molecular frameworks, has traditionally been the province of organic chemistry. But no more. Enterprising ...
