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 ...

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 ...

Complexes and preipitates of nickel (II) are formed by adding ammonium hydroxide, ethylenediamine, and dimethylglyoxime to dilute solutions of Ni2+ in beakers. Cyanide salts and solutions are ...

A team of researchers from Russia, the United States, and China led by Skoltech Professor Artem R. Oganov has discovered an unexpected very complex europium hydride, Eu8H46. The paper detailing the ...

Using robots and click chemistry, scientists built potential active ingredients for future antibiotics that contain metal.

Hazardous materials responders across the country have a new way to look at hazmat chemistry: the "HazMat IQ" system, which lets responders see immediate application of the material to their response ...

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 ...
