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 catalysts in the synthesis ...

When it comes to eliminating toxic and expensive heavy metals in the chemical industry, a new study from the University of Würzburg points the way forward. The team led by chemistry professor Holger ...

The team led by chemistry professor Holger Braunschweig at the University of Würzburg is investigating the ‘metal-mimetic’ properties of main group elements such as boron. They have shown that under ...

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 ...

The Polymer-Derived Ceramic method was employed to design and synthesize a transition metal-free, sodium-doped amorphous SiBN ceramic made up of silicon (Si), boron (B), and nitrogen (N) atoms for ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have engineered a range of new single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes with different compositions, chirality, and ...

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 ...
