Many attempts have been made to utilize planar 2D layered materials, such as graphene, for gas storage or the uptake of dangerous chemicals. This was due to their unique properties, particularly with ...

Nagoya, Japan - Aromatic molecules consist of planar carbon-based rings with alternating single and double (π) bonds. These molecules contain 4n+2 (n = 0, 1, 2 ...) π electrons--π electrons are those ...

Bare aromatic polymers have the potential to be used in a wide range of high-performance and functional materials. However, their synthesis is hindered by the poor solubility of their parent compounds ...
