Metal compounds are not new to the world of medicine: Cisplatin, for example, which contains platinum, is one of the most widely used anti-cancer drugs. Despite this, there is a long way to go before ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Lightning and volcanos both produce glass, and humans have been making glass from silicon dioxide since prehistory. Industrialization brought us boron-based glasses, polymer glasses and metallic ...

Multiple bonding between two transition-metal atoms is a constant source of fascination for inorganic chemists interested in the nitty-gritty of chemical bonding. The current upper limit in an ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

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 ...
