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 ...

Organometallic compounds tend to marry metals with aromatic hydrocarbons so that the metal sits above or below the carbon-based group’s flat plane and interacts with the hydrocarbon’s p orbitals. The ...

This illustration visualizes a novel electrochemical transformation in which a single carbon atom—derived from a diazo compound—is selectively inserted into the pyrrole ring via a distonic radical ...
