Carbon, with its myriad compounds, is the backbone of life and the central element of organic chemistry. The number of bonds a carbon atom forms with other elements in a compound determines its ...

Compound design is one of the major tasks for computational approaches in medicinal chemistry. The primary aim is the generation of compounds with desired properties, first and foremost, compounds ...

The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. Covalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of electrons, ...

Copper is ubiquitous as a structural material, and as a reagent in (bio)chemical transformations. A vast number of chemical reactions rely on the near-inevitable preference of copper for positive ...
