A research team led by Prof. Pan Feng from the School of Advanced Materials, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School has uncovered key mechanisms that govern how protons are stored and transported ...

Quantum secret of hydrogen bonds in liquid water revealed for the first time Decoding the H-bond network in water molecules has never been so easy, thanks to this new spectroscopy method.

Chemists have discovered a way to use light and oxygen to upcycle polystyrene -- a type of plastic found in many common items -- into benzoic acid, a product stocked in undergraduate and high ...

For the hydrogen bonds analyzed here, for all cases, 2 ρ BCP is positive but HBCP is negative for all O–H···O arrangements, for intramolecular interactions of salicylamide and salicylic acid as well ...

Tokmakoff, who thinks a lot about hydrogen bonds in his work on the properties of water and aqueous acid solutions, says he has often wondered how strong hydrogen bonds can get.

Benzoic acid, the simplest benzene-based carboxylic acid, has been known since the 16th century. One of its discoverers was the legendary clairvoyant Nostradamus. Its most common natural source is gum ...
