Nature Chemistry - Michelle Francl puts the early women of chemistry, who were ignored at the time, back into the picture.

The isolation of catenated nitrogen compounds is difficult, in part because these chains can readily lose nitrogen, creating a strong thermodynamic push towards decomposition. Now, a series of molecul...

The most common oxidation state for lanthanide elements is +3, and, beyond cerium, examples of these elements exhibiting higher oxidation states remain scarce. Now, a molecular complex of praseodymium...

A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.

Superatoms are metal clusters that collectively behave like an atom, but they usually require metal–metal bonding and thus they are based on main group or transition metals. Now it has been shown that...

Computational and spectroscopic studies of molecular lanthanide complexes have implicated 4f orbitals in metal–ligand bonding interactions. Now, a comparative study of isostructural d-block, actinide ...

Interest in actinide–carbon bonds has persisted since actinide organometallics were first investigated for applications in isotope separation during the Manhattan Project. Transplutonium organometalli...

Following the building principles of crown ethers for cation encapsulation, inverse crowns are rings of metals that bind anions. Now a redox-active inverse crown ether featuring Na+ cations and Mg0 ha...

The chemistry of precious-metal-based open-shell mononuclear complexes remains underdeveloped. Now it has been shown that iridium metalloradicals enable Ir(II)/Ir(IV) redox cycles and catalyse olefin ...

Alt: a man in a suit speaks into a microphone and says, 'this is the start of your career'

Chirality in hybrid perovskite semiconductors can advance their application in modern electronics, but their production — traditionally involving the incorporation of chiral organic cations into the p...

Images can be made more accessible by choosing hues, shapes and textures carefully.

Triplet nitrenes are highly reactive species and thus their isolation and characterization are challenging. Now, a bulky hydrindacene ligand has been used to stabilize a triplet arylnitrene synthesize...
