An adaptive quantum chemistry workflow builds accurate molecular structures from reliable fragments, offering a practical way ...

Assessing hyperfine shifts in paramagnetic NMR spectra provides new details on the covalent character of halogen bonded ...

The covalent bonds that hold complex molecules together can come in different forms. Atoms like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen can form both single and double bonds, sharing two or four electrons.

Ever since it was proposed that atoms are building blocks of the world, scientists have been trying to understand how and why they bond to each other. Be it a molecule (which is a group of atoms ...

A scanning-probe microscopy method can reveal subtle bond order differences between individual bonds in single organic molecules, according to a study led by researchers at IBM and published in ...

Chemists have set a new world record for the shortest chemical bond ever recorded between two metals, in this case, two atoms of chromium. Scientists discovered the molecule, which has a quintuple ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical reaction that breaks the strongest bond in a molecule instead of the weakest, completely reversing the norm for reactions in which bonds are evenly split to ...

Beryllium is one of those self-loathing elements. Like helium or neon, an atom of beryllium should not partner with another, chemical theory says. But new research, published online May 21 in Science, ...
