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 ...

Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by breaking down their molecular structures. This technique enables fast and precise ...

Controlling regioselectivity remains one of the major challenges in hydrocyanation. When an unsymmetrical alkyne undergoes ...

Chemists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, as part of an international team, have obtained unique crystals that exhibit ...

"Each new detection brings us closer to understanding the origins of complex organic chemistry in the universe — and perhaps, ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers ...

The organic molecules on Europa could reveal the chemistry of its subsurface ocean. And Schmitt-Kopplin has used the organic assemblages of meteorites to study impact shocks and geochemical processes ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

The Curiosity rover detected the largest organic molecules to date on Mars, which may be fragments of fatty acids, or some of the chemical building blocks of life.

A series of compounds featuring fused six-membered silicon rings represents a step up in complexity for the class of ...
