Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

About 75 years ago, scientists accidentally synthesized a compound called ferrocene in which the iron (Fe) atom is sandwiched between two C5H5 rings—(C5H5)Fe(C5H5). This compound opened up a new era ...

Metal valence state was identified as a key factor steering the anion reactivity and thus “indirectly” affecting the Li-bond strength, which further determined the conversion kinetics of lithium (poly ...
