Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

Cubene and quadricyclene are descended from cubane and quadricylane, both cage-shaped structures with bonds that are fairly ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

Carbon-hydrogen bond activation took a big step forward in 2000 when John F. Hartwig and coworkers reported an organometallic catalyst capable of directly converting normally unreactive alkanes into ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...

UCLA researchers have violated Bredt’s rule, a century-old principle of organic chemistry, challenging our understanding of ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

This article discusses AFM studies of self-assembled semi-fluorinated alkanes on Silicon, HOPG, and MoS 2 substrates. Covalently linked sequences of -CF 2 - and -CH 2 - groups with -CF 3 and -CH 3 - ...

(Nanowerk News) The role of surface modification of nanoparticle catalysts in alkyne hydrogenation reactions was systematically investigated by the Center for Nanoscale Materials' NanoBio Interfaces ...
