Like carbon and silicon, germanium’s lighter brethren on the periodic table, the metalloid can bond to four different groups, forming a chiral, tetrahedral molecule. Researchers at Nankai University ...

Scientists have synthesized a giant molecular structure that resembles a 12-faced solid called a triakis tetrahedron 1. This structure could be used to confine smaller molecules or speed up chemical ...

Chemists at MIT have reported the first synthesis of triphosphatetrahedrane (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c07959). The new molecule looks similar to tetrahedrane—a hydrocarbon with four ...

Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo developed porous organic crystals with outstanding CO 2 adsorption characteristics, as reported in a Nature Communications study. The monomers, ...
