An interdisciplinary team presents a new class of chemical compounds that can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. The compounds known as 'pyrazinacenes' are simple, stable compounds that consist of a ...

In an ongoing effort to accelerate catalytic reactions, oxidation of metal complexes using light has emerged as a standard method to synthesize aromatic compounds. Now, researchers have demonstrated a ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...
