The breadth of main group elements spanning the period table inherently lends itself to diverse chemistry, not least owing to the versatile reactivity of the s- and p-block elements. Research into ...

It’s difficult to make molecules using elements that lie beyond uranium on the periodic table, which has hampered progress in studying how actinides form bonds. Now chemists have expanded the library ...

Water is essential for all chemistry and life, yet understanding how it interacts with dissolved ions—such as sodium and ...

When it comes to extreme multiple bonds, the transition metals have long ruled the roost. Quadruple bonds? They’ve got thousands of them. Quintuple bonds? Right there in a landmark organometallic ...

Graphene's enduring appeal lies in its remarkable combination of lightness, flexibility, and strength. Now, researchers have shown that under pressure, it can briefly take on the traits of one of its ...
