(Phys.org)—Substituted cyclobutanes, four-membered carbon rings with substituents on some of the carbon atoms, can be made with regio- and stereo-selectivity through various methods, including ...

Molecular electronics and solar cells are two examples of devices that could be made by combining aromatic organic molecules together into extended, π-conjugated structures that conduct electricity.

Cycloaddition reactions represent a cornerstone of modern heterocyclic synthesis, enabling the direct construction of diverse ring systems through pericyclic processes. In these concerted ...

Creating rings, or carbocycles, with a six-carbon skeleton is an elementary exercise for synthetic organic chemists. Ask one how it’s done, and the chemist will inevitably point to the stalwart ...
