Illustration of intracluster bond formation, cluster containing two biomolecules, being exposed to UV light (left), causes a chemical bond forming between the two molecules (center), resulting in a ...

Adjusting the size and chemistry of nanocrystals within an ultrathin surface can speed up light-driven chemical reactions, according to a University of Michigan Engineering study published in the ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. Open an introductory chemistry textbook. What is a covalent bond? A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons in a molecule. What is a hydrogen ...

Scientists have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding ...

UCLA chemists proved that some of chemistry’s oldest rules can be broken—and new molecules emerge when they are.

When it comes to extreme multiple bonds, the transition metals have long ruled the roost. Quadruple bonds? They’ve got thousands of them. Quintuple bonds? Right there in a landmark organometallic ...

Light-induced breakage of chemical bonds can lead to damage in the body and environment, but techniques for studying this photochemical reaction have been limited to before and after snapshots. With ...

“In this work, a comprehensive study on crystal structure and chemical bonding properties of CrB 2 was conducted using a combinatorial of theoretical calculations and experimental validations.

Like plucking a tiny guitar string, scientists have “strummed” chemical bonds. Plucking the bonds, which connect two carbon atoms separated by just 140 billionths of a millimeter, required a minuscule ...
