Hydrogen bonding, a key interaction between molecules, has been considered essential for optimizing these materials. However, previous studies have struggled to confirm its universal role.

Hydrogen bonding underpins a vast array of strategies in molecular design, from drug discovery to advanced materials. At its core, a hydrogen bond arises when a hydrogen atom covalently bound to an ...

Hydrogen bonding in metal complexes encompasses a spectrum of noncovalent interactions in which hydrogen atoms bound to electronegative donor groups (for example O–H, N–H or even C–H) engage directly ...

Picosecond dielectric spectroscopy reveals that 3-chloroaniline and 1-methoxy-2-propanol form hydrogen-bonded 1:1 complexes and chain-like aggregates whose strength peaks at intermediate mixing ...

Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing ...

A research team has successfully developed a new approach to create switchable magnetic materials by using hydrogen bonding at the molecular level. This groundbreaking study shows how certain metal ...

Researchers at Chiba University have developed a chiral nickel catalyst that uses cooperating halogen bonds, hydrogen bonds, ...

BVR-19, a crystalline material built around a sulfide-to-sulfide bond that breaks when light hits it, produces hydrogen from water in Oregon State University laboratory tests without a separately ...

At first glance, the ice cube in your soft drink and the smell of grandma’s famous egg salad don’t seem to have much in common. From a chemical point of view, however, the underlying molecules water ...

Copper has been knocked off the top of a stability ranking it had dominated for decades. Without altering the atoms directly bonded to the metal, a KAIST research team reversed the longstanding trend ...

A new porous material could offer a simpler way to turn sunlight and water into hydrogen.  The proposed mechanism: light ...
