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 ...

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 ...

A new sandwiched iron complex allows chemists to put iron(I) to work in catalytic reactions in the same way chemists use ...

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.

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 ...
