In the January/February issue of the magazine American Scientist, Chemistry Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann took exception to scientists applying the concept of aromaticity beyond organic molecules to ...
Aromaticity is one of chemistry’s oldest concepts to describe the behavior of molecules. Chemists created it 150 years ago to help visualize and explain the bonding, structure, and reactivity of ...
Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...
Pushing the limits of size constraints in chemistry, an 8-nanometer 18-porphyrin nanoring (c-P18) becomes the largest known cyclic molecule to exhibit detectable global aromaticity. This phenomenon, ...
The Möbius strip, with its fascinating structure, was first discovered by August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858 1. Interestingly, in his review paper on Möbius molecules, Herges ...
In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of metal atoms, the heaviest of its kind ever confirmed. The team stabilized an ...

In 1862, a chemist nodded off in front of a fire and began to dream. August Kekulé had been pondering the most pressing question in his field at the time: what was the chemical structure of a curious ...
