Chemists have devised a new chemical reaction that allows them to synthesize a phosphorus-containing ring, using a catalyst to add phosphorus to simple organic compounds called alkenes. MIT chemists ...
Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...
White phosphorus is one of three allotropes of the element phosphorus. The other two are red, an amorphous polymer, and black, a graphitelike polymer. The substance known as yellow phosphorus is ...
