Here, episode 3: OK, so you've already met the Carbon Atom. In episodes 1 and 2, we watched it bond with other atoms inside living creatures, large and small. When a carbon atom grabs on to a ...

Quantum calculations and other experiments suggested a six-bond carbon atom was possible, but the crystal structure serves as photographic proof, says Dean Tantillo at the University of California ...

Their inability to bond ... Angier's book, The Canon (2007), describes the importance of bonds in chemistry and includes this wonderful sentence: "Water may be the solvent of the universe, but ...

This finding implicates an augmentation of the, so far, maximum bond order of three for carbon and other first ... configuration (that is the 'text book' explanation whereby two electrons line ...

Chemists at Hokkaido University have experimentally confirmed the existence of a single-electron carbon-carbon bond for the first time (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07965-1). Linus Pauling ...

Now, researchers have made the first observations of covalent bonds that form when two carbon atoms share a single electron. This unusual bonding behaviour has been seen between a few other atoms ...

The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms ...

Using directed evolution, scientists have created the first enzyme known to break a silicon-carbon bond. The finding could be a preliminary step toward biodegrading volatile methyl siloxanes ...

Researchers are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple bond between the atoms boron and carbon. Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can ...

What types of adhesives can be used to bond titanium to carbon-carbon composites when faced with extreme temperatures? High temperature resistant epoxies, certain grades of silicones, bismaleimides, ...

In the novel molecule, the boron atom is in a linear arrangement with carbon atoms. "In combination with the triple bond, this is about as uncomfortable as it gets for boron, requiring very ...
