Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Most are C–H activation reactions, which remove a hydrogen atom from one of the carbon atoms of the molecular backbone and replace it with a more complex cluster of atoms called a functional group.

Chemists design new molecule, with oxygen as the star of the show New design rules for capturing a stable, chiral oxygen atom Date: March 30, 2023 ...

Sep 18, 2019: Tensile strength of carbon nanotubes depends on their chiral structures (Nanowerk News) Single-walled carbon nanotubes should theoretically be extremely strong, but it remains unclear ...

Insights into the catalyst structure-function relationship of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can provide an outlook to their growth mechanisms. In a new report now published in Science ...

Chiral semiconductor CNTs showed a response to the glycoproteins, evidenced by changes in electronic band gap and density of state. Photonic applications capitalize on the photoluminescent attributes ...

Chiral molecules with carbon as their centerpiece have been widely explored, ... it will be exciting to explore the properties of chiral oxygen atom-containing compounds in future studies. ...

Chemists from the University of Groningen have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for the production of ...
