Using spectroscopic experiments and computer simulations, Andrei Tokmakoff at the University of Chicago and colleagues show that the line between a hydrogen bond and a covalent bond is blurrier ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two.

An oxidation reaction involving iodine stretched the paired-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms in a hexaphenylethane derivative, resulting in the formation of a single-electron bond.

Explain that the electrons are shared by the oxygen and hydrogen atoms forming a covalent bond. These bonds hold the oxygen and hydrogen atoms together and form the H 2 O molecule. The reason why the ...

Uranium forms an unusually strong triple covalent bond with nitrile groups, confounding predictions about the bond strength of actinides compared with the remainder of the periodic table. Elements ...

However, in 1931, Linus Pauling theorized that a covalent bond could exist with atoms sharing a single electron. However, creating a new single-electron chemical bond isn’t easy.

In the battle against B-cell cancers, drugs that target the enzyme Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) have transformed treatment. Before the first BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib, came on the market in 2013 ...

Covalent functionalization occurs when a suitable functional group forms a covalent bond with graphene's sp2 carbon structure, specifically at the edges or basal plane. The introduction of functional ...

Prior to 2000, many drugs that formed a covalent bond with targets did so non-selectively, which often led to undesired side effects when compared to non-covalent drugs. This led to the belief that ...
