the relative tendencies of different sorts of noncovalent bonds toward linearity (March 28, 2012)
Tapas Kar and his German collaborators published in Chem. Phys. Chem (March 16, 2012)
Embedding of a borazine core into the carbon framework of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (a substructure of graphene) results in a significant change in the structural, vibrational, and electronic properties, as shown by density functional and ab initio computations. This article is published in Chem. Phys. Chem by Tapas Kar and his German collaborators.
