An osmium sandwich complex with two boron-based rings is the first true example of a carbon-free ferrocene analogue. The compound was synthesised by researchers in India who say that this complex ...

Breast cancer remains one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide, and although overall survival has improved in recent decades, metastatic breast cancer—especially bone ...

Three tall thin vials contain colored solutions. The solutions are pale yellow, green, and burgundy, from left to right. Copper gets the sandwich treatment in these three colorful complexes. Credit: ...

A new derivative of ferrocene has 20 valence electrons, challenging the longstanding rule that organometallic compounds can only have a maximum of 18. The researchers highlight that the ligand ...

For over 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) have successfully ...

Researchers have developed a molecular system for controlled release of iron. They integrated ferrocene, a molecular sandwich that encloses an iron atom, with a carbon 'nanohoop'. As a result, the ...
