Nitrogen gas (N 2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making its ...

Solid-phase synthesis of azo compounds exploits polymer-supported platforms to assemble nitrogen–nitrogen double bonds on a resin bead, streamlining purification and enabling rapid generation of ...

Sulfonic azo compounds in wastewater can hinder the plant photosynthesis through interfering with sunlight transmission, affect the growth of aquatic organisms by destroying the ecological environment ...

Azoxy-, azo- and amino-aromatics are among the most widely used building blocks found important applications in materials science, pharmaceuticals and synthetic chemistry. Especially, azobenzenes are ...

Photocatalytic reactions, which unlock chemical transformations under mild conditions that are unavailable to conventional ground-state pathways, can save energy consumption and improve intrinsic ...

A data-storage system based on a new azo compound could increase the memory capacity of future electronic devices. Most electronic memory systems use binary data storage, in which data are recorded as ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have revamped an anti-cancer drug to better target cancer cells and leave healthy tissues unharmed. Scientists have dubbed this type of targeted approach a "prodrug" ...
