Key: carbon, black; nitrogen, blue; silicon, orange; uranium, green; bismuth, purple. Hydrogen atoms and charge-balancing cation omitted for clarity. In a world first, the team, led by Professor ...

There are three classes of neutral 6-membered reactive species, namely didehydrobenzene (benzyne (1)), dihydrobenzenes (cyclohexyne (2) and 1,2-cyclohexadiene (3)), and benzene isomers ...

Ball-and-stick model of a molecular complex showing three bismuth atoms forming a triangular ring between two uranium atoms, surrounded by ligand atoms including silicon, nitrogen, and carbon. By ...

Pushing the limits of size constraints in chemistry, an 8-nanometer 18-porphyrin nanoring (c-P18) becomes the largest known cyclic molecule to exhibit detectable global aromaticity. This phenomenon, ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how excited-state aromaticity emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...
