Organic molecules, which contain carbon, typically conform to specific shapes because of the way their atoms bond together.

Gamma radiation can convert methane into a wide variety of products at room temperature, including hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing molecules, and amino acids, according to a new article published in ...

UCLA chemists have overturned a century-old rule in organic chemistry that limited molecular design by proving that ...

Neil Garg is leading the charge to rewrite a fundamental principle that's been part of organic chemistry since 1924 -- ...

Chemists at UCLA have discovered a flaw in one of organic chemistry’s longstanding principles, challenging a rule that's ...

Oct. 30, 2024 — Research provides a deeper understanding of precisely what is happening in organic solar cells as light is converted into electricity. Researchers developed a new method which ...

According to Bredt's rule, double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. This rule has constrained ...

The research team has successfully created molecules that violate Bredt's rule, opening up new possibilities in molecular ...

Scientists have proven that a fundamental rule of organic chemistry isn't as unbreakable as everyone thought. Here's what it ...

A team of researchers have discovered a metal-organic framework (MOF) that suppresses charge recombination, which is a major ...

For exactly 100 years, chemists have considered double bonds impossible – or nearly so – in organic chemistry under specific ...

"It destroys creativity when we have rules that supposedly can't be overcome," the California-based researchers said.
