Transition metals have many applications in engineering, electrochemistry and catalysis. To understand their properties, the interplay between atomic localization and delocalization of the outer ...

Valence tautomerism (VT) in transition metal complexes is a fascinating phenomenon in which reversible intramolecular electron transfer between the metal centre and a redox‐active ligand results in ...

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 ...

Excitons are pairs of bound negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes that form in semiconductors, enabling the transport of energy in electronic devices. These pairs of charge ...

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 ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don’t participate in chemical bonding. They’re thought to be too deep inside an atom and close to the nucleus to ...
