A group from Nagoya University in Japan has succeeded in performing a difficult reaction to build the bases that make polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) used in organic LEDs, transistors, and ...

Researchers at Linköping University have used computer simulations to show that stable aromatic molecules can become reactive after absorbing light. The results, published in the Journal of Organic ...

Food scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used machine learning to sift through more than 2,300 scent molecules from aromatic plants and identify compounds with ...

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 ...

Conjugated aromatic molecules and polymers are of interest owing to their use in electronic devices. This Focus issue reports the design and synthesis of conjugated aromatic systems including ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Chemistry has uncovered a faster way large carbon-based molecules may form in space, helping solve a long-standing mystery ...

The proposed strategy will lead to the development of various advanced micelle structures with tunable, on-demand cavity functions in water. Micelles assemble in water from amphiphilic molecules, ...

Discovery of seven-ring cyanocoronene in a star-forming cloud challenges assumptions about the abundance and formation of complex organic molecules in the universe. (Nanowerk News) A team of chemists ...
