Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

UCLA researchers have violated Bredt’s rule, a century-old principle of organic chemistry, challenging our understanding of ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

A cornerstone rule of organic chemistry that has guided students and researchers for a century has just been shown to be wrong in a key way. By deliberately building molecules that were long ...

Scientists have broken a century-old chemistry rule by creating “impossible” molecules. The breakthrough could reshape drug design, materials science and how chemistry is taught worldwide.

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in ...
