The synthesis of alkane hydrocarbons containing extremely long carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds, the longest observed in alkanes to date, is reported. Long C–C bonds are usually weaker than short ...

The selective conversion of abundant and inexpensive alkane feedstocks into value-added speciality chemicals is a significant and challenging goal, and methods for catalytically converting alkanes ...

Now, Varinder Aggarwal and coworkers at the University of Bristol have found a way to selectively activate primary alkane C–H bonds using light and a chloride-based catalyst (Nature 2020, DOI ...

Carbon's place on the periodic table. Consolidation of valency. The logic of the alkane family. Alkane isomers. IUPAC name system. A brief look at other hydrocarbon families, alkenes, alkynes. The ...

The charge-transfer complex formation because of benzoquinone conjugation causes color change upon alkane vapor adsorption. (A) Color change due to methanol gas adsorption and the structure (no ...
