Chemical chameleon tamed: Researchers give floppy molecule a structure through solvent effects

  • Chemical chameleon tamed: Researchers give floppy molecule a structure through solvent effects - How you get the chameleon of the molecules to settle on a particular "look" has been discovered by chemists in Germany. The molecule CH5+ is normally not to be described by a single rigid structure, but is dynamically flexible. By means of computer simulations, the team showed that CH5+ takes on a particular structure once you attach hydrogen molecules.(10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.083003)
