Researchers from The University of Osaka have developed a synthetic method that reliably and efficiently incorporates boron-rich carborane clusters into aromatic compounds as simple as "mixing and ...

Aromatic compounds play an important role in chemistry and biology as well as in numerous branches of industry. Although aromaticity was initially thought to be exclusive to carbon cycles, it has ...

A version of this story appeared in Volume 96, Issue 41 Saito explains that selenium’s large size allows overlapping σ orbitals from the six atoms to create aromaticity. The phenylselenyl groups ...

Several types of environmental bacteria that can aerobically degrade various aromatic compounds have been identified. The catabolic genes in these bacteria have generally been found to form operons, ...

The novel compound is a new chapter in a story that began in 1825, when English scientist Michael Faraday first isolated benzene from gas lights. Benzene would later be identified as one of a class of ...

The first stable all-silicon aromatic ring compound, the cyclotrisilenylium cation, has been synthesized by a group in Japan after years of theoretical speculation and failed attempts. The molecule ...

The symposium was established by Professor Tetsuo Nozoe in 1970 as International Symposium on Nonbenzenoid Aromatic Compounds. However, not only the name but also the aim of the Symposium was changed ...
