In 2024, Neil Garg’s team at UCLA broke Bredt’s rule, which said double bonds couldn’t form at a molecule’s bridgehead. Now ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

Cubene and quadricyclene are descended from cubane and quadricylane, both cage-shaped structures with bonds that are fairly ...

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together in molecules through shared electrons. The rules governing bonding and the shapes of molecules are often thought to be absolute. Geometries of double ...
