Cycloaddition reactions are an efficient strategy for constructing cyclic compounds that are important building blocks for other chemicals. In these processes, π-electrons from different unsaturated ...

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is an important technology to produce large-scale green hydrogen. Platinum on Carbon (Pt/C) is a state-of-the-art cathode catalyst due to its moderate ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A critical examination is made of the one-dimensional approximations for the quantum mechanical motion of almost-free electrons confined near ...

THE existence of semiconduction has been demonstrated in a variety of different classes of organic compounds such as condensed aromatic hydrocarbons, charge-transfer complexes, pyrolized polymers, and ...

Cyclo[n]carbons have haunted University of Oxford chemistry professor Harry L. Anderson for about 30 years. His first project as a postdoctoral researcher, which he abandoned after deeming it too ...

Researchers found that antiaromatic planar norcorrole molecules can form close face-to-face interactions to give structures with increased aromaticity. This behavior is quite different from that of ...

A huge molecular wheel has set a new record as the largest aromatic ring (Nat. Chem. 2020, DOI: 10.1038/s41557-019-0398-3). The molecule could be a step toward making even bigger rings that serve as a ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new design concept for creating next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, in the form of a tiny magnetic nanographene ...
