The newly synthesized [N₆]⁴⁻ hexazine ring has a striking similarity to benzene, the aromatic carbon compound which is omnipresent in nature," says Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Natalia Dubrovinskaia of the ...

Fundamental breakthroughs in the natural sciences are rare. Progress is usually made in small steps, with knowledge slowly accumulating as more pieces of the puzzle fall into place. Now, however, ...

The properties of flat aromatic molecules are well known to chemists, but some non-planar aromatics remain a mystery. A molecule that can twist into a Möbius band on command might shed light on their ...

IT is known that the molecular refraction, as defined by Lorenz–Lorentz, of liquid (non-aromatic and non-conjugated) organic compounds may be calculated with fair accuracy by summation of the atomic ...
