Nanowerk  August 29, 2023 Researchers in Czech Republic have experimentally confirmed the correctness of a decades-old theory that assumed a non-uniform distribution of electron density in aromatic molecules, a phenomenon that significantly affects the physicochemical properties of molecules and their interactions. They presented the resolution of the π-hole on a single molecule which supports the theoretical prediction of its existence. Experimental measurements supported by theoretical calculations showed the importance of π-holes in the process of adsorption of molecules on solid-state surfaces. According to the researchers better knowledge of the distribution of the electron charge will help the scientific community to […]
