(Nanowerk News) Tuning the para position of benzene moieties is significant for creating biologically active compounds and optoelectronic materials. Yet, attaching a functional handle specifically at ...

Benzene is big business. A natural part of crude oil, the chemical is a starting material for plastics, drugs, detergents, and more. Yet because of the molecule’s hardiness, limited chemical pathways ...

(Phys.org) —The six-carbon aromatic molecule benzene is a staple of organic chemistry. Benzene-derived molecules have applications that include everything from pharmaceuticals to nano devices. However ...

Tuning the para position of benzene moieties is significant for creating biologically active compounds and optoelectronic materials. Yet, attaching a functional handle specifically at the para ...

Since the benzene ring is a representative constituent of organic compounds, a structure consisting only of a common element plus the benzene ring is considered to be one of the most fundamental ...

When G. Stephen Kocheril started as a research associate at Jila, his first project was to experimentally test a decades-old theoretical reaction pathway for interstellar benzene formation. He was ...

Few roads lead to meta, much to the chagrin of organic chemists trying to build compounds of particular shapes. Now researchers have found a simple way of getting molecules into the coveted meta ...
