A DEPENDENCE of bond distances on environment was first noticed when the carbon–carbon single-bond distance in methyl acetylene was compared with that in ethane 1. In recent years, a wealth of ...
Tsukuba, Japan—The shapes of simple polyatomic molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane are characterized by a specific symmetry depending on the manner of linking of the atoms. Nano- to ...
A team of researchers at Harvard University, has developed a way to create ultracold polyatomic molecules by trapping and cooling them in three dimensions. In their paper published in the journal ...
