Water confined inside molecular cavities can supercharge chemical bonds and could perhaps reshape drug design.

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 ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers have recorded the breaking of a single chemical bond between a carbon atom and an iron atom on different molecules. The team used a high-resolution ...

When it comes to extreme multiple bonds, the transition metals have long ruled the roost. Quadruple bonds? They’ve got thousands of them. Quintuple bonds? Right there in a landmark organometallic ...
