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 ...

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.

Isocyanide coordination chemistry has emerged as a dynamic area of research, characterised by the ability of isocyanide ligands to stabilise a wide variety of transition metal complexes. These ligands ...

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 ...

This rapid screening process identified an iridium-based antibiotic candidate that shows promise in human cells to kill bacteria while remaining nontoxic.

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 ...

Following cisplatin's success in the treatment of cancer, numerous other platinum-based complexes have been investigated as potential anticancer drugs, and some of these have received regulatory ...

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 ...
