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. This is one electron.

showing that it represents a new type of carbon-centered diradical with a single dative bond between the phosphorus and the terminal carbon. This is the first known compound where a carbon center ...

Scientists in Germany have achieved something never seen before: creating a stable boron-carbon triple bond. While triple ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide, which ...

allowing chemists to place a single carbon atom so that it makes bonds to four different substituents. The reagent makes molecules with spiro centers, which could be unusual motifs in drug ...

But now, this gap is closed, thanks to the Chemists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, who ...
