Whereas π-stacking systems involving aromatic compounds are quite common, those made from antiaromatic units are rare. In a recent study, researchers from Japan developed modified norcorrole molecules ...

AUSTIN, Texas – By synthesizing a stable "antiaromatic" compound, as well as a never before seen intermediate version of that compound, chemists at The University of Texas at Austin have written an ...

Circularly conjugated compounds with 4n+2 pi-electrons are known as aromatic compounds. Since they are generally stable, they are widely used in our daily life, from plastics to pharmaceuticals, dyes, ...
