The colors of rubies and emeralds are so striking that they define shades of red and green – ruby red and emerald green. But ...

A new derivative of ferrocene has 20 valence electrons, challenging the longstanding rule that organometallic compounds can ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers ...

Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

Transition metal valence state, a key property steering heterogeneous catalysis, has remained underexplored for its role in tuning S cathode kinetics in Li–S batteries. This study reported ...

Transition metals exchange electrons with supporting ligands to form complexes that facilitate reaction catalysis in several industries, like pharmaceutical production. Both the metal center and ...

Transition metals, made up of industrial, precious, and battery metals, continue to gain significance as one of the most important global themes we see for the future.

"In chemistry, cationic low-valent aluminum compounds are highly sought after due to their potential transition metal-like ambiphilic reactivity. However, numerous previous attempts to synthesize ...

The metals mining industry is at a crossroads. Key energy transition metals need trillions of U.S. dollars in investment if the world has any chance of advancing the transition to meet the Paris ...

Transition metal dichalcogenides are 2D materials with tunable bandgaps, strong excitonic effects, and roles in electronics and quantum technologies.
