Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

Alkane molecules are held together in the crystal state by purportedly weak homonuclear R–H···H–R dihydrogen interactions. In an apparent contradiction, the high melting points and vaporization ...

An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons. An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons.

Heat conduction is considered to be one of the “solved problems” of physics, until you examine the problem closely. Currently, our explanation of heat conduction is based around something called ...
