Researchers have designed and built a new chemical tool inspired by natural metal-containing enzymes in living organisms. The product, a tetrahedral "chiral zinc", maintains its shape for years, ...

The tetrahedral geometry of four-coordinate carbon atoms is a steadfast property of organic compounds. Nevertheless, chemists are still attracted to the possibility of twisting or squashing a ...

Researchers have confirmed the original model of the molecular structure of water and have thus made it possible to resolve a long-standing scientific controversy about the structure of liquid water.

The prize, which honors Jorgensen for his pioneering contributions to organic chemistry, comes with a $10,000 award and will be presented during the 2016 national meeting of the American Chemical ...

Like carbon and silicon, germanium’s lighter brethren on the periodic table, the metalloid can bond to four different groups, forming a chiral, tetrahedral molecule. Researchers at Nankai University ...

Danny Alge and his undergraduate researcher Dylan Donohue characterized the addition of a lewis acid catalyst (nickel) in the synthesis of a tetrazine molecule useful in click chemistry applications.

The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world's most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering and medicine, and is the oldest scientific academy in ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...
