Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

Chronic neuroinflammation-induced anomalous glutamate receptor activation has been identified as one of the important factors in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Thus, the current ...

This work establishes the ability of valence-to-core X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) to serve as a direct probe of N2 bond activation. A systematic series of iron-N2 complexes has been ...
