Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z).

The post New Form Of Oxygen Molecule Causes Scientists To Question Their Belief In Magic. Sort Of. first on TwistedSifter.

Using computer simulations, researchers have shown that the oxygen molecule (O 2) is stable up to pressures of 1.9 terapascal, which is about nineteen million times higher than atmosphere pressure.

Catalysts typically break down an oxygen molecule into two identical atoms that behave the same. But on a titanium oxide catalyst, the two atoms of a split oxygen molecule act differently ...

Why is oxygen in particular so central to this process? Oxygen is so important to aerobic organisms because it has some very special characteristics; in other words, because it is a strange molecule.

Remind students that in Chapter 4 they looked at the covalent bonding between oxygen and hydrogen, which creates the water molecule. Now students will look more closely at the details of the covalent ...

Mitochondria turn the food we eat into the energy our cells can use. But when stress hijacks the process they use to maintain ...

Using meteorites from Mars, an AI-powered robot chemist synthesized compounds that could be used to generate oxygen from water, scientists announced on Monday (Nov. 13). Potential future crewed ...

In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds. There are a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons, so the water molecule is neutral. The electron cloud model ...

Using a chemical glove box, a polycarbonate glass box with protruding gloves that shields substances from oxygen and moisture, scientists combined the berkelium metal with an organic molecule ...
