Strength at length in carbon–carbon bonds
The synthesis of alkane hydrocarbons containing extremely long carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds, the longest observed in alkanes to date, is reported. Long C–C bonds are usually weaker than short ones, but these new alkanes are surprisingly stable, with decomposition occurring only above 200 °C. Quantum mechani...
