Aluminium redox catalysis and reactive aluminium clusters showcase main-group element's transition-metal-like reactivity ...

Platinum works beautifully. It speeds up chemical reactions, holds up under punishment, and sits reliably at the center of industrial processes worth billions of dollars annually.

Rare earth metal methylidene complexes represent an exciting frontier in organometallic chemistry, characterised by the presence of a terminal CH₂ moiety bound directly to a rare earth element. These ...

Highly reducing or oxidizing photocatalysts are a fundamental challenge in photochemistry. Only a few transition metal complexes with Earth-abundant metal ions have so far advanced to excited state ...

Precious metals like palladium and platinum are often used as chemical catalysts, but true to their name, they’re expensive to source. Scientists may have just found a cheaper alternative.

James Mitchell Crow explains how an unexpected discovery in main group chemistry inspired two decades of chemical creativity, ...
