Transfer of charge is a process in which electrons move within a molecule or between two molecules. It is a crucial chemical process that can be applied to a wide range of technologies. Intramolecular ...

Aromatic compounds—substances with flat, ring-shaped structures made up of carbon atoms—play an important role in organic chemistry. Among other things, they serve as solvents or feedstock for ...

But the newly generated aromatic rings are non-planar and will thus have a strained structure. However, Scott and colleagues have looked at the situation more deeply and a compelling case is made ...
