The Jahn-Teller effect is a fundamental phenomenon observed in a variety of molecular and solid-state systems, particularly those involving transition metal complexes. It arises when a degenerate ...

Catecholate ligands, derived from the deprotonation of catechol, have long been recognised for their robust chelating properties and redox activity. When coordinated to transition metal centres, these ...

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.

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 ...

Lanthanide-containing complexes are important compounds for sophisticated nuclear-fuel processing and medical imaging. Moreover, they often have interesting symmetric crystal structures and associated ...

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 ...

Transition metals play a crucial role in various industries, such as pharmaceutical production, by exchanging electrons with supporting ligands to create complexes that facilitate catalytic reactions.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) represent one of the most promising families of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials in advanced materials research. Characterized by their MX₂ formula—where M ...
