These compounds consist of two magnesium atoms connected by a chemical bond, with each magnesium atom bound to a bulky organic ligand; the ligand acts as a protective coating that prevents the ...

By adding an electrical current to trigger chemical reactions, Johns Hopkins researchers have devised a way to reduce ...

The willingness of the 4f orbitals of lanthanide metals to participate in chemical reactions is as rare as their presence in Earth's crust. A recent study, however, witnessed the 4f orbital in a ...

In experiments, the resulting compound -- 1,4-bicyclo [2.2.2]octane dicarboxylic acid, a metal-organic framework that the researchers called BODCA-MOF -- behaved as an amphidynamic material.

Fluorine-based compounds are everywhere—from life-saving pharmaceuticals and crop protection agents to high-performance materials like Teflon and refrigerants. Their unique chemical properties makes ...

Hydrogen has a high gravimetric energy density—fuel-cell vehicles on the road today can travel more than 300 miles with 11 lb of hydrogen and emit zero pollution from the tailpipe. However ...
