The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Organometallic compounds tend to marry metals with aromatic hydrocarbons so that the metal sits above or below the carbon-based group’s flat plane and interacts with the hydrocarbon’s p orbitals. The ...

After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many ...

This illustration visualizes a novel electrochemical transformation in which a single carbon atom—derived from a diazo compound—is selectively inserted into the pyrrole ring via a distonic radical ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has emerged as an indispensable tool in elucidating protein dynamics at atomic resolution. In particular, studies on aromatic side chains have revealed ...
