Schiff base ligands, characterised by the presence of an azomethine group, have long been recognised for their versatility in coordination chemistry. These compounds are synthesised via the ...

(a) Schematic of the liquid cell for XAS analysis of metal porphyrin complexes in aqueous solutions. XAS spectra of the central metals were obtained at the Fe or Co L 2,3-edge and those of ligands ...

Catecholate ligands, derived from the deprotonation of catechol, have long been recognised for their robust chelating properties and redox activity. When coordinated to transition metal centres, these ...

In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better known as benzene, is perhaps the most famous molecular ring in chemistry. Back ...

Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate—offering fresh hope in the global fight against ...

Researchers developed a powerful new manganese complex that could revolutionize light-driven chemical reactions. It absorbs light extremely efficiently, has a uniquely long excited-state lifetime, and ...
