Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers have recorded the breaking of a single chemical bond between a carbon atom and an iron atom on different molecules. The team used a high-resolution ...

The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...

Katherine Bourzac is a freelance journalist in San Francisco, California. For a little more than a century, chemists have known that strong atomic links called covalent bonds are formed when atoms ...

When it comes to extreme multiple bonds, the transition metals have long ruled the roost. Quadruple bonds? They’ve got thousands of them. Quintuple bonds? Right there in a landmark organometallic ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...
