(Phys.org) —The six-carbon aromatic molecule benzene is a staple of organic chemistry. Benzene-derived molecules have applications that include everything from pharmaceuticals to nano devices. However, one of the difficulties ...
Although the double benzene molecule tried to reveal its structure in experiments in 1993, chemists at the time were unable to find an explanation for the spectral peaks they saw. Now, 20 years later, Nijmegen theoretical ...
