Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

In this publication, published on May 18, 2025, in the Journal of American Chemical Society, Prof. Rickhaus and his team focus on molecules called carpyridines, shaped like microscopic saddle. Just ...

Researchers discover how closed-shell PAHs cool efficiently in space, impacting models of prebiotic carbon formation.

For over a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at ...

The COVID pandemic illustrated how urgently we need antiviral medications capable of treating coronavirus infections.

Collagen IV provides crucial structural support for cells and tissues, but it’s unstable at body temperature. Researchers now ...

The article indicates that the sudden appearance (or disappearance?) of polymorphs can derail clinical programmes. Such an example occurred in the development of the anti-glioma drug temozolomide, ...

Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by ...

Fit-ligand is a computational algorithm that enables accurate modeling of multiple conformational states of ligands in X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

Scientists at the University of California, Davis have developed a new drug related to LSD that retains the psychedelic’s beneficial brain effects while minimizing the hallucinogenic experience. The ...
