Food scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used machine learning to sift through more than 2,300 ...

Circularly conjugated compounds with 4n+2 pi-electrons are known as aromatic compounds. They are generally stable and are found in our surroundings. Conversely, anti-aromatic compounds with 4n ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

Whereas there is a natural PAHs background in the environment, increasing fossil fuel use has led to a major growth in PAH emissions during the Anthropocene epoch 3. The results presented here show ...

Polycyclic aromatic compounds, characterised by fused aromatic rings, underpin advances in organic electronics, photonics and catalysis. Synthetic approaches broadly divide into bottom-up ...

Discover why grocery store tomatoes lack flavor and join a local tasting event to find the perfect summer fruit.

In the January/February issue of the magazine American Scientist, Chemistry Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann took exception to scientists applying the concept of aromaticity beyond organic molecules to ...

Aromaticity is one of chemistry’s oldest concepts to describe the behavior of molecules. Chemists created it 150 years ago to help visualize and explain the bonding, structure, and reactivity of ...
