Organic molecules, which contain carbon (pictured), form certain shapes because of how their atoms bond.Credit: Dennis Kunkel Microscopy/Science Photo Library For the first time, chemists have made a class of molecules previously thought too unstable to exist, and used them to generate exotic compounds1. Scientists say these notorious molecules, known as anti-Bredt olefins (ABOs), offer […]
Scientists have broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule to synthesize a class of molecules previously thought to be too unstable to form. The molecules in question violate Bredt’s rule, which describes where certain types of bonds can occur within a class of 3D chemical compounds.
