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 ...

Valence tautomerism (VT) in transition metal complexes is a fascinating phenomenon in which reversible intramolecular electron transfer between the metal centre and a redox‐active ligand results in ...

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 ...

Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallocenes—chemical compounds where a metal atom sits "sandwiched" between two carbon rings—have been at the heart of organometallic chemistry research, finding ...

Transition metals form catalytic complexes that can speed up various chemical processes, especially in the production of pharmaceuticals as well as various pigments, dyes, and laboratory reagents like ...
