German chemists have created the first-ever boron-carbon triple bond which opens new possibilities for molecular innovation.

In the field of chemistry, certain bonds have long baffled researchers, especially those involving less common elements such ...

A new reagent has moved carbon-atom transfer out of the chemical flatlands, allowing chemists to place a single carbon atom so that it makes bonds to four different substituents. The reagent makes ...

Boron (B), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) are elements with atomic numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively, occupying consecutive positions in the periodic table. As a metalloid ...

Where diamond has a regular crystal structure, graphene (or at least the Platonic ideal of graphene) is a flat, single-atom-thick sheet of six-sided carbon rings. The hexagonal rings of six carbon ...

From industrial applications to environmental concerns, Jim Fenstermacher, Pradeep Shukla, and Prashant Srivastava explore ...

On 17 February 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev jotted down the symbols for the chemical elements, putting them in order according to their atomic weights and inventing the periodic table.

It is a sandwich with the rarest of fillings. Researchers have unveiled berkelocene, a compound containing the synthetic element berkelium nestled neatly between two ring-shaped molecules (Science ...
