A team of chemists and astronomers have made a discovery in the field of astrochemistry: the identification of cyanocoronene, the largest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ever detected in space.

A group from Nagoya University in Japan has succeeded in performing a difficult reaction to build the bases that make ...

Scientists wanted to address the question of how much organic material—substances that contain carbon and are essential for life—exists in interstellar space.

The chemists start with an aromatic azide and use a photochemical reaction with ethylaminoethanol, followed by oxidation withN-bromocaprolactam.Only the carbon that was attached to the azide is ...

Figure 1: Examples of all-carbon aromatic systems. We describe for the first time the isolation of tetraanionic, substituted benzenes, which are stabilized by coordination to group 3 metals ...

The aromatic carbon actually has a relationship with graphene (a semi-metal), which makes it quite interesting. So researching in that direction is going to be pretty interesting.” ...

The newly synthesized [N₆]⁴⁻ hexazine ring has a striking similarity to benzene, the aromatic carbon compound which is omnipresent in nature," says Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Natalia Dubrovinskaia ...

“Leveraging orthogonal methods to elucidate the metabolic controls underlying aromatic carbon fluxes in C. testosteroni KF-1, we combined transcriptomics and proteomics measurements with ...
