Template-assisted synthesis dramatically improves the yield of functionalized oligophenylene cages, report researchers from Japan. By using covalent templates to guide a six-fold Suzuki–Miyaura ...

The molecular weight (MW) is the total atomic weight of a molecule. The MW is determined by summing the mass of all of the individual atoms in a molecule. The molecular weight of a polymer is directly ...

A visualization of a new molecular-glue degrader bound to cereblon and a protein target of interest. A new degrader (shown in orange) forms a complex with cereblon (shown in blue, purple, green, and ...

Molecular weight is a main feature employed when characterizing polymer-based products. The term describes the molar mass distribution of polymer chains which can significantly vary within polymers of ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once thought impossible for fluids. When they mixed nearly identical chemicals, one ...

Click chemistry is a class of fast and simple reactions that scientists use to connect two molecules together. It includes many synthesis strategies that fall under the umbrella of click reactions, ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded for a versatile technology that can be used for an astonishing variety of purposes, from environmental remediation to drug delivery and energy ...

These chains are compounded from a variety of small molecules which can modify the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes it almost impossible to establish a ...
