Aromatic compounds are common growth substrates for microorganisms and are also prominent environmental pollutants. The crucial step in their degradation is to overcome the huge resonance energy that ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka have developed a synthetic method that reliably and efficiently incorporates boron-rich carborane clusters into aromatic compounds as simple as "mixing and ...
