A research team has synthesized a new polyoxometalate-based metal-organic complex that they then tested as a catalyst for the oxidation reactions of various sulfides. They found that the complex ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

A newly engineered manganese complex combines ultra-strong light absorption with a record-breaking excited-state lifetime, challenging the dominance of rare metals in photochemistry. Its simple, ...
