Aromatic compounds play an important role in chemistry and biology as well as in numerous branches of industry. Although aromaticity was initially thought to be exclusive to carbon cycles, it has ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

THE most obvious evidence of interaction of some kind between aromatic polynitro compounds and other aromatic substances is the isolation of many crystalline compounds containing the two components in ...

Aromatic esters are chemicals that contain an aromatic ring consisting of functional groups called esters. These organic compounds are widely used as chemical feedstock in industries like food and ...

A version of this story appeared in Volume 96, Issue 41 Saito explains that selenium’s large size allows overlapping σ orbitals from the six atoms to create aromaticity. The phenylselenyl groups ...

Aromatic prenyltransferases (aPTases) transfer prenyl moieties from isoprenoid donors to various aromatic acceptors, some of which have the rare property of extreme enzymatic promiscuity toward both a ...
