How can aromatic compounds be separated from aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...

A particular silicon compound that has been sought by scientists for decades has been created by two separate teams of ...

The first stable all-silicon aromatic ring compound, the cyclotrisilenylium cation, has been synthesized by a group in Japan after years of theoretical speculation and failed attempts. The molecule ...

The properties of flat aromatic molecules are well known to chemists, but some non-planar aromatics remain a mystery. A molecule that can twist into a Möbius band on command might shed light on their ...

Aromatic compounds are common growth substrates for microorganisms and are also prominent environmental pollutants. The crucial step in their degradation is to overcome the huge resonance energy that ...

Aromatic esters are chemicals that contain an aromatic ring consisting of functional groups called esters. These organic compounds are widely used as chemical feedstock in industries like food and ...

Whereas π-stacking systems involving aromatic compounds are quite common, those made from antiaromatic units are rare. In a recent study, researchers from Japan developed modified norcorrole molecules ...

An international team with researchers from the University of Bayreuth presents a potentially groundbreaking discovery for nitrogen chemistry in "Nature Chemistry". For the first time, a compound ...

Making aromatic compounds from waste has proved a difficult nut to crack. But after raising more than €80 million (about $87 million) in funding, the Dutch start-up BioBTX says it could be producing ...

The new aromatics complex is part of the CNOOC Huizhou Petrochemical Product Structure Optimization and Quality Upgrading ...
