Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

This Perspective presents recent advances in our knowledge of the fundamental elementary
mechanisms involved in the low-and high-temperature molecular mass growth processes to …

Clean combustion, ie, the reduction of NOx and soot emissions, and carbon neutrality,
achieved in part by biofuel synthesis, are major milestones in the transition to a sustainable …

Planarized triarylboranes are attracting increasing attention not only as models of boron-
doped graphenes, but also as promising materials for organic optoelectronics. In particular …

Acetylene, among the multitude of organic molecules discovered in space, plays a distinct
role in the genesis of organic matter. Characterized by its unique balance of stability and …

Synthetic routes to the 10π Hückel aromatic azulene (C10H8) molecule, the simplest
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon carrying an adjacent five-and seven-membered ring, have …

The field of Molecular Scattering is reviewed as it pertains to gas-gas as well as gas-surface
chemical reaction dynamics. We emphasize the importance of collaboration of experiment …

The bay-capping mechanism on PAH armchair edges and the kinetics of acetylene addition
to 6–6–5 and 5–6–5 bays have been explored by ab initio/RRKM-ME calculations. The bays …

The mechanism for hydrocarbon ring growth in sooting environments is still the subject of
considerable debate. The reaction of phenyl radical (C6H5) with propargyl radical …

Aromatic molecules represent fundamental building blocks in prebiotic chemistry and are
contemplated as vital precursors to DNA and RNA nitrogen bases. However, despite the …
