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 -- ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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

UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around for 100 years—it's ...
