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 the ...

X-ray spectroscopy of transition metal complexes provides element-specific, local probes of electronic and geometric structure by measuring absorption or emission of X-ray photons during core-level ...

Redox-active ligands have transformed our understanding of coordination chemistry by engaging directly in electron-transfer events alongside the metal centre. Unlike traditional spectator ligands, ...

Skeletons I-V containing three or four coplanar M–C σ bonds are shown on the left. The two skeletons with five coplanar M–C σ bonds are placed on the right. Art by Dafa Chen. This study is led by Dr.

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

This article was written by Jim Wiederhold, Commodity Indices Product Manager at Bloomberg. The global economy is fueled by commodities. Ever since the industrial revolution, the production and ...
