Researchers demonstrate high electrical conductance for an antiaromatic nickel complex -- an order of magnitude higher than for a similar aromatic complex. Since the conductance is also tunable by ...

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 ...

Profs. Okujima and Uno, in collaboration with Prof. Kobayashi at Shinshu University, reported their success in the synthesis of diazuliamethyrin, a core-modified hexaphyrin(1.0.0.1.0.0), and descibed ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. To understand why this nanocage’s stability is surprising, you have to remember Hückel’s rule. According to the rule, a molecule is aromatic if it has 4n ...

The concept of aromaticity underpins much of modern organic chemistry, describing the unusual stability and reactivity of cyclic molecules whose π-electrons are delocalised over a planar framework.

Organic materials often have a lower production cost than traditional electric conductors like metals and semiconductors. Not all organic systems conduct electricity well, however. A class of organic ...
