The electronic charge density distribution or the electrostatic atomic potential of a solid or molecule contains information not only on the atomic structure, but also on the electronic properties, ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have created a solid compound containing a beryllium-beryllium bond (Science 2023, DOI: 10.1126/science.adh4419). The compound is diberyllocene, in which each beryllium ...

A chemical change is more than just a simple alteration; it's a profound transformation at the molecular level. When substances undergo a chemical change, they undergo a metamorphosis, fundamentally ...

An elite chemical club has a new member, after a team in Germany found a way to link two boron atoms together with a stable triple bond. Boron joins carbon and nitrogen as one of the few elements in ...
