And now, after years of work, they’ve finally explored an idea originally proposed in 1931: a chemical bond formed using just a single electron. This, of course, poses quite a conundrum ...

Chemists have set a new world record for the shortest chemical bond ever recorded between two ... The chemists weren't driven by the Guinness Book of World Records or even a friendly bet.

according to the book Biochemistry. "The existence of a hybrid covalent-hydrogen bonded state not only challenges our current understanding of what a chemical bond exactly is, but also offers the ...

The book's scope is exhaustive ... The significance of The Nature of The Chemical Bond was not so much that it pioneered the quantum-mechanical view of bonding, but that it made this a chemical ...

They captured the ongoing reaction process of the chemical bond formation in the gold trimer. The femtosecond-resolution images revealed that such molecular events took place in two separate ...

The crystal is the first stable compound containing a triple chemical bond between two boron atoms, a feat that had previously been limited to only two other non-metal elements – carbon and ...

This “grafting” technique creates a more stable material that is resistant to chemical changes and breakdown. “Instead of mixing in those chemicals, our method involves chemically bonding ...

While previous work had shown that a relatively weak bond could form when the molecule is parallel to the magnetic field, Lange and colleagues discovered an additional stronger bond might result ...

Other elements with a similar propensity as carbon to reshape their core electron nodal structures upon chemical bonding are proposed. Since the discovery of silicon and Wöhler's success in ...
