Nature Chemistry, Published online: 25 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02259-7Access to long-lived light-induced states in earth-abundant transition-metal chromophores is desirable but hard to achieve. Now, enhanced metal–ligand covalency has been shown to increase the lifetime of the photomagnetic high-spin state in a manganese photoswitch.

The Department of Biology at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned tenured professorship at the Institute of Biochemistry

Biocatalysis has become an important part of synthetic chemistry, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. It is therefore important for chemistry students to learn about biocatalysis in their pro...

Hello and thank you for using Chemotion ELN!

The study shows that life began using molybdenum and tungsten enzymes as early as 3.7–3.1 billion years ago. Study reveals that key metabolic processes arose despite scarce metals and highlighting the...

The Cluster of Excellence EXC 2124 “Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections” (CMFI) at the University of Tübingen invites applications for Indepen...

Molecular complexes of iron in the rare +1 oxidation state have been shown to be efficient catalysts for industrially relevant chemical transformations, typically associated with the increasingly unsu...

Rare-earth element separation processes often rely on a small decrease in ionic radii along the series of elements. Separation processes based on the distinct optical properties of REs remain less exp...
