Specialised windshield glass, everyday plastic water bottles, and countless other products are based on ethylene, a simple two-carbon molecule, which requires an energy-intense separation process to ...

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

Scientists found that four hydrocarbon molecules, known for their internal ring structure, have a lower threshold for the release of excess energy than molecules without a similar ring structure, ...

Trapping four silicon atoms into a short-lived, diamond-shaped complex gives surprising insights into aromaticity Ideally, cyclobutadiene should appear as a flat square, with carbon atoms on each ...
