The covalent bonds that hold complex molecules together can come in different forms. Atoms like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen can form both single and double bonds, sharing two or four electrons.

Now chemists have expanded the library of such molecules, creating a trio of transuranium complexes that contain double bonds between neptunium and carbon (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, DOI: 10.1021 ...

Chemistry: Triple bond formed between boron and carbon for the first time. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 11, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2025 / 03 / 250304114053.htm ...

Carbometallation and especially carboalumination reactions of carbon–carbon double and triple bonds are a well established synthetic protocol in organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis.

These are stronger than single or double bonds and so result in some of the most stable molecules known. Aloof atom Boron is more aloof than these neighbours, though.

From Nature magazine. An elite chemical club has a new member, after a team in Germany found a way to link two boron atoms together with a stable triple bond. Boron joins carbon and nitrogen as ...
