AT an extra meeting of the Chemical Society, held on Wednesday, December 15, Prof. F. R. Japp, F..R.S., delivered a memorial lecture in honour of the eminent German chemist, Friedrich August Kekulé, ...

IN connexion with the benzene centenary, it may perhaps be pointed out that the name Kekulé is not French. August Kekulé, born in Darmstadt (1829; he died in Bonn, 1896), was a descendant of Wilhelm ...

In the 19th century, the scientific community puzzled over how the atoms in the mysterious compound benzene were arranged. This "aromatic" molecule soon proved to have a surprisingly simple structure: ...

That’s the first sentence of a great Angewandte Chemie article by George M. Whitesides in which he looks at the evolution of chemistry from World War II until now (2015, DOI: 10.1002/anie.201410884).

Researchers have moved packets of energy along a molecular ladder made of hundreds of benzene rings. Such polymers can potentially be used to design new displays based on organic light-emitting diodes ...

Jeff, a pharmacy student in Richmond writes, One thing about Richmond is that most everyone in the city has a tattoo. After living here for 3 years I finally gave into peer pressure and got a tattoo.

The Universities of Bonn and Regensburg create novel molecules that serve as ziplines for energy. Such polymers can potentially be used to design new displays based on organic light-emitting diodes, ...
