Covalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of electrons, form the scaffolding that underpins the majority of organic compounds. In 1931, the Nobel Laureate Linus ...

A lanthanide–carbon triple bond has been created for the first time, specifically a bond between cerium and carbon, ...

Reviewed by Lexie CornerSep 27 2024. A research team from Hokkaido University has confirmed a century-old theory by ...

The single-electron bond was formed by subjecting a derivative of hexaphenylethane, which contains an extremely stretched out paired-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms, to an ...

Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon molecules. A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom.

Discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. Sep 25, 2024. By listening, scientists learn how a protein folds. May 20, 2024.

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 ...

The concept of single-electron covalent bonds was first proposed in 1931, by chemist Linus Pauling. But at the time, chemists didn’t have the tools to observe such bonds, ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...
