Thanks to the alternating single-double nature of the bonds, electrons in these orbitals end up delocalized; the differences between the bonds become a bit irrelevant, and the molecule is best viewed ...

Carboxylic acid dianions (fumarate, maleate and succinate) play a role in coordination chemistry and to some extent also in the biochemistry of body cells. A team has now analyzed their electronic ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. In 1974, Aviram and Ratner proposed an intriguing vision: could a single molecule act as a functional component, such as a diode? It ...

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become a cornerstone in display and lighting technologies, driving the demand for efficient organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials ...

Molecular geometry of the trans- and cis-isomers fumarate and maleate (above, left to right) together with their hydrogenated molecule, succinate−dianions (below) . Carboxylic acid dianions (fumarate, ...

By placing single-atom p-block metal adlayers on gold electrodes, researchers quantified the interfacial hopping integral, establishing a universal descriptor for single-molecule junction conductance.
