Transition metal chemistry is a vast and dynamic field that centres on the distinctive properties of elements in groups 3–12. These metals, characterised by partially filled d orbitals, exhibit a ...

Transition metal complexes in aqueous solutions undergo a fascinating array of photochemical transformations when exposed to light. The interaction of light with these complexes initiates electronic ...

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 ...

Osaka, Japan – The arrangement of small molecules – known as ligands – around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as ...

Antibiotic resistance is steadily eroding one of modern medicine’s most essential tools. Each year, more than a million people lose their lives to infections that were once easily treatable, a ...

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 ...
