Group 13 M(II) species are very rare and unstable, yet may well be key electron transfer intermediates. Employing bulky boryl ligands, thermally stable M(boryl)2 complexes (M=Ga,In,Tl) have been isolated and characterized for the first time....
Chemistry & Engineering News (January 17, 2005 issue, page 34) reports about the recent Science paper Science, vol. 307, p.235 (2005) by a team of the ETH Zurich, led by Prof. Grützmacher. The team has...
Metal-metal interactions in paramagnetic, multinuclear transition metal complexes are critical to the reactivity of metalloproteins, and understanding them is important in the development of functional metal-containing polymers. Particularly, the bonding and spectroscopic properties of the...
In a quest to further advance the hydrogen economy, diiron complexes, mimicking [FeFe]-H2ases have been widely studied as cheaper and more sustainable catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Researchers from the University of Illinois...
