Cycloaddition reactions constitute a cornerstone of modern organic synthesis, enabling the rapid construction of ring systems and molecular complexity with high atom economy. These pericyclic ...

Cycloaddition reactions are an efficient strategy for constructing cyclic compounds that are important building blocks for other chemicals. In these processes, π-electrons from different unsaturated ...

Molecular electronics and solar cells are two examples of devices that could be made by combining aromatic organic molecules together into extended, π-conjugated structures that conduct electricity.

Total synthesis of natural products via cycloaddition reactions brings together strategic bond construction with the precision of pericyclic processes to assemble complex molecular frameworks from ...

Researchers have engineered a novel M 6 L 4 octahedral molecular cage by integrating photoactive cyclometalated platinum(II) units, creating a visible-light-responsive "nanoreactor" that drives highly ...

Anyone who has stayed up late collecting NMR data for a molecule of interest would agree: it’d be nice if you could just see the thing. That’s one advantage of the surface chemistry work being done in ...

Kana M. Sureshan is a full professor and Dean of planning at IISER Thiruvananthapuram. He received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Pune in 2002. Prof. Sureshan carried out his post-doctoral ...

Creating rings, or carbocycles, with a six-carbon skeleton is an elementary exercise for synthetic organic chemists. Ask one how it’s done, and the chemist will inevitably point to the stalwart ...
