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 ...

Transition metal sandwich complexes, characterised by a metal centre symmetrically bound between aromatic ligands, have long served as prototype systems for exploring organometallic bonding and ...

Reactions are typically driven by heat. However, in recent years, light has also established itself as an energy source, as it allows chemical reactions to be controlled with exceptional precision.

"The lifetime of the complex of 190 nanoseconds is also remarkable. This is two orders of magnitude longer than any previously known complexes containing common metals such as iron or manganese," said ...

In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better known as benzene, is perhaps the most famous molecular ring in chemistry. Back ...
