With six Nobel Prizes in the category, organometallic chemistry has been a widely explored field since the 1950s. Yet, the discovery of new classes of organometallic compounds remains a rare ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

Molecular structure of the new 20-electron ferrocene derivative, highlighting nitrogen (blue), iron (orange), hydrogen (green), and carbon (grey) atoms. For over a century, the well-known 18-electron ...

Organometallic chemistry centres on compounds and reactions in which metal–carbon bonds enable unique pathways for bond formation, catalysis and molecular activation. Building on early discoveries ...
