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 ...

In 2024, Neil Garg’s team at UCLA broke Bredt’s rule, which said double bonds couldn’t form at a molecule’s bridgehead. Now ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water ...

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

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...
