The willingness of the 4f orbitals of lanthanide metals to participate in chemical reactions is as rare as their presence in ...

Scientists have achieved a major milestone in the quest to understand high-temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-rich ...

Possibilities to use such compounds as ligands in coordination chemistry are documented by the presence of resonance-assisted hydrogen bonds and the formation of lithium complexes. Phthalocyanines (PC ...

Studying spin pairing at this scale could increase our understanding of quantum chemistry, as well as accelerate applications in quantum computing. ‘Clar’s goblet is a bowtie-shaped [structure] first ...

This contrast is based on a simple kinetic challenge: the energy temporarily stored in an electronically excited state is very quickly converted into molecular vibrations and heat if no measures are ...

The resulting complex had what is known as square-planar geometry. This means that the nickel is in the center and the ligands are arranged around it at the four compass points, all in the same plane.

With the development of single-molecule super-resolution microscopy over the last decades, researchers now have a powerful and versatile imaging tool for mapping the molecular mechanisms behind the ...
