Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallocenes—chemical compounds where a metal atom sits "sandwiched" between two carbon rings—have been at the heart of organometallic chemistry research, finding ...
In 1985, scientists discovered a new form of carbon, buckminsterfullerene or C60. This molecule, shaped like a soccer ball, ...

This month we feature chemicals that have important applications in industry and the lab.—Ed. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a ...
A 3D rendering of a 48-carbon molecular ring threaded through three supporting cyclic molecules A supramolecular assembly keeps cyclo[48]carbon stable enough to analyze using a variety of ...
With the growing emphasis on sustainable development, the demand for environmentally friendly solvents in green chemical ...
Relevant to this last application, the doping doesn’t alter the durability of the (very tough) carbon nanotube fibers. They have higher tensile strength than either copper or aluminum, and they are ...
