Scientists have used computing power and clever modeling to solve a 200-year-old chemistry and math puzzle. For all these years, the question at play has been how to plot the electron structure of a ...

One of the fundamental mysteries of chemistry has been solved by Australian scientists – and the result may have implications for future designs of solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes and other ...

Earlier this month, Molecule of the Week brought you the venerable and extremely hazardous molecule benzene. This week’s molecule has one of the structures that was originally proposed for benzene: ...

LAST year, two of us gave a preliminary account 1 of an X-ray analysis of crystalline benzene from which a C—C bond-length of 1.37 8 A. was derived by differential syntheses with finite series ...

FOR many years attempts were made to explain the peculiarities of aromatic compounds by making various special hypotheses relating to the benzene nucleus. It is a satisfactory feature of the present ...
