Gas‐phase ion chemistry remains a vibrant field that elucidates fundamental interatomic and intermolecular interactions through the study of charged species in isolation. The investigation of bond ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Transition metal silicides are promising for future developments in electronic devices, but fundamental aspects of the chemical bonding between their transition metal atoms and silicon remain poorly ...

Anna Azvolinsky reports work on artificial photosynthesis (15 April, p 28). She writes that plants “store their energy… in chemical bonds. In other words they make fuel”. This risks reinforcing the ...

We all remember the basic principles taught in high school chemistry class: There are three types of chemical bonds. However, covalent, ionic and metallic have a little competition now. There’s a new ...

Light-induced breakage of chemical bonds can lead to damage in the body and environment, but techniques for studying this photochemical reaction have been limited to before and after snapshots. With ...

Electronegativity, an essential characteristic of all elements in the periodic table, measures an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself within a chemical bond. This vital theoretical ...

Dr. Prashant K. Jain is the Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign and this meeting's Fred Kavli ...

‘Chemical bonds are only defined by the minds of good chemists,' says John Parkhill, researcher at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, US. But his latest study turns this idea on its head.
