An iridium metal complex has been identified as a promising, if unconventional, new antibiotic drug, a new study finds. The compound is one of more than 600 produced in a study published in December ...

Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallocenes—chemical compounds where a metal atom sits "sandwiched" between two carbon rings—have been at the heart of organometallic chemistry research, finding ...

Scientists are putting the pedal to the metal to develop new antibiotics. Metal-based drugs can open a new world of medicine, especially as antimicrobial resistance is growing. Researchers have also ...

When it comes to eliminating toxic and expensive heavy metals in the chemical industry, a new study from the University of Würzburg points the way forward. The team led by chemistry professor Holger ...

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 ...

Researchers describe how large cyclic molecules can be used for the synthesis of big metallic complexes with two or more metal atoms. In polymetallic complexes, two or more metal atoms combine with ...
