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 ...

Pushing the limits of size constraints in chemistry, an 8-nanometer 18-porphyrin nanoring (c-P18) becomes the largest known ...

Aromaticity is one of chemistry’s oldest concepts to describe the behavior of molecules. Chemists created it 150 years ago to help visualize and explain the bonding, structure, and reactivity of ...

The first stable all-silicon aromatic ring compound, the cyclotrisilenylium cation, has been synthesized by a group in Japan after years of theoretical speculation and failed attempts. The molecule ...
