Organophosphorus chemistry has long been a cornerstone of both fundamental research and industrial applications, spanning the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, catalysts and advanced ...

years after the discovery of ferrocene, stable metallocenes have now been made with all of the 3d transition metals ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered an unusual new form of aluminium that challenges long-held assumptions about how this common metal ...

Liang Deng's group at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently discovered that a dinuclear cobalt carbonyl complex [(Xantphos)Co 2 (CO) 6] coordinated by the ...

Advancements in quantum computing enable accurate modeling of chemical interactions, benefiting pharmaceuticals, clean energy, and manufacturing sectors.

Direct oxidation of methane to methanol is dominated by transition- or noble-metal-based catalysts, thus making the reaction quite expensive. To make the process efficient and cost-effective, ...
