Metallocenes – often known as sandwich complexes – are a hallmark of organometallic chemistry. Ferrocene is a classic example ...

Multinuclear organometallic junctions might be the key to realizing high-performance thermoelectric devices at the nanoscale. The unique electronic structure of organometallic ruthenium alkynyl ...

Organometallic chemistry of antimony complexes occupies a distinctive niche in modern inorganic and materials chemistry. Combining the unique electronic characteristics of antimony with the ...

Organometallic compounds, molecules made up of metal atoms and organic molecules, are often used to accelerate chemical reactions and have played a significant role in advancing the field of chemistry ...

One of the greatest challenges facing the future of clean nuclear energy is scientists’ ability to recover heavy metals from nuclear waste, such as lanthanides and actinides. A new computational tool ...

Organometallic compounds tend to marry metals with aromatic hydrocarbons so that the metal sits above or below the carbon-based group’s flat plane and interacts with the hydrocarbon’s p orbitals. The ...

Organometallic chemistry centres on the study of compounds that incorporate at least one direct bond between a metal centre and a carbon atom. Over the past century, this field has evolved from the ...
