Researchers confirm benzene-like electron delocalization of important molecule

[B]UO team's findings could pave way for synthetic compounds useful in drug discovery and materials science[/B]
Researchers in the lab of University of Oregon chemist Shih-Yuan Liu have successfully synthesized and structurally characterized boron-nitrogen compounds that are isoelectronic and isostructural to the fundamentally important benzene molecule. Given the appearance of benzene derivatives in biomedical research and materials science, the boron-nitrogen substituted analogues could potentially play a pivotal role in these areas.
