Quantum chemists have discovered a new type of chemical bond in molecules that contain two uranium atoms. A total of ten electrons -- the equivalent of five covalent bonds -- are involved in the bonds ...

Experimental evidence has confirmed earlier computational studies showing that the Au–C bonds in Au(CN) 2-have significant covalent character, in contrast to the ionic behavior of gold's lighter ...

A group of researchers has demonstrated a method that allows scientists to experimentally measure how the chemical bonds of materials are altered when two different materials are linked together. This ...
