Chemists have synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a new strategy of functionalizing normally inert carbon-hydrogen (C-H). The journal Science has published the breakthrough. Led by ...
For the first time, MIT chemists have synthesized a fungal compound known as verticillin A, which was discovered more than 50 years ago and has shown potential as an anticancer agent. The compound has ...
The complex compound K₉N₅₆ was formed under unusual conditions: Potassium azide (KN₃) and molecular nitrogen (N₂) were compressed under a pressure more than 400,000 times higher than the pressure of ...
