A new three-way bond-breaking and making mechanism makes the synthesis of five-membered rings easier than before.

Scientists at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Vienna, have unveiled an innovative approach for synthesizing azaparacyclophanes (APCs), a class of highly advanced ring-shaped ...

Researchers at the Universities of Bayreuth and Linköping have produced two surprising compounds of nitrogen and the rare earth metal yttrium under very high pressure. The new polynitrides contain ...

Oxaborine may sound boring, but Guangbin Dong and his team at the University of Chicago have found that they can turn this single precursor into 11 different molecular cores. Their modular method ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in ...
