Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

For over a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have successfully ...

Join us in York in September 2019 for this addition to our Faraday Discussion series. For over 100 years and 300 meetings, Faraday Discussions have been the forefront of physical chemistry. Many of ...
