A new derivative of ferrocene has 20 valence electrons, challenging the longstanding rule that organometallic compounds can ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan. As the ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers ...

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 ...

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

The addition of an atom with fewer valence electrons than silicon, such as boron, creates holes, electrons that are missing in the valence band. This is called p-type doping. The addition of an atom ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan. As the interactions ...
