Template-assisted synthesis dramatically improves the yield of functionalized oligophenylene cages, report researchers from ...

Curved molecules that absorb sunlight, store the energy, and re-release it as heat are pushing the boundaries in solar ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing ...

Light-induced breakage of chemical bonds can lead to damage in the body and environment, but techniques for studying this photochemical reaction have been limited to before and after snapshots.

The researchers deployed a special quantum effect called the two-photon spin-exchange Auger process to produce hot electrons far more efficiently than before. This process allows two low-energy ...

A shorter hydrogen bond, for instance, indicates stronger hydrogen bonding and a relatively weaker covalent bond. This was reflected, as expected, in lower spectroscopic frequencies for the H–F ...

Quantum chemists have discovered a new type of chemical bond in molecules that contain two uranium atoms. A total of ten electrons -- the equivalent of five covalent bonds -- are involved in the bonds ...

A team of Penn State researchers has found that a fundamental reaction in transition metal chemistry, called oxidative addition, can follow a different path to achieve the same ends.

Breakup of a single chemical bond measured Date: October 4, 2021 Source: Princeton University, Engineering School Summary: Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers have recorded the ...

That delay meant they were unable to claim the first ever quadruple bond to boron—another team reported quadruple bonding in BFe(CO) 3-late last year (Nat. Commun. 2019, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019 ...

However, those same chemical bonds have made it difficult to break down without incurring a high energy cost. [Related: Will we ever be able to recycle all our plastic?

Light-induced breakage of chemical bonds can lead to damage in the body and environment, but techniques for studying this photochemical reaction have been limited to before and after snapshots.
