Chemists have recently explored protactinium's multiple resemblances to more completely understand the relationship between the transition metals and the complex chemistry of the early actinide ...

Catecholate ligands, derived from the deprotonation of catechol, have long been recognised for their robust chelating properties and redox activity. When coordinated to transition metal centres, these ...

Aluminium redox catalysis and reactive aluminium clusters showcase main-group element's transition-metal-like reactivity ...

Isocyanide coordination chemistry has emerged as a dynamic area of research, characterised by the ability of isocyanide ligands to stabilise a wide variety of transition metal complexes. These ligands ...

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

Almost half a century ago, a remarkable molecule called metallocene took center stage in chemistry, earning Geoffrey Wilkinson and Ernst Otto Fischer the Nobel Prize. These organic compounds, made of ...

For centuries, the best chemists in the world struggled every day to create the molecules that your own cells manufacture every second. Then they discovered how one group of atoms let them make stuff ...

Many of us are often told we bear a resemblance to another member of our family — for instance, that we have our mother’s nose or our father’s eyes. Chemical elements on the periodic table also have ...
