Researchers at Linköping University have used computer simulations to show that stable aromatic molecules can become reactive after absorbing light. The results, published in the Journal of Organic ...

A research group has established key early steps in the conversion of aromatic molecules, a major constituent of traffic and other urban volatile emissions, into aerosol. Their findings increase ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif.-- A molecule found in car engine exhaust fumes that is thought to have contributed to the origin of life on Earth has made astronomers heavily underestimate the amount of stars that ...

A research team led by Prof. YANG Liangbao from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has observed the interactions between aromatic molecules and Au surfaces on a ...

Replacing a carbon atom in an aromatic ring with a nitrogen atom is one of those exercises that’s easy to do on paper with a pencil and eraser but tough to accomplish in a reaction flask. Chemists ...

Efforts to build a better digital “nose” suggest that our perception of scents reflects both the structure of aromatic molecules and the metabolic processes that make them. Alex Wiltschko began ...

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 ...

The answer to the question has been “no” since the early 1950s, when Theodor Förster discovered the photophysical effect of concentration-quenching of fluorescence in a concentrated pyrene solution.
