Catecholate ligands, derived from the deprotonation of catechol, have long been recognised for their robust chelating properties and redox activity. When coordinated to transition metal centres, these ...

Oxidation states serve as a central concept in inorganic and materials chemistry, offering a simplified yet powerful means to describe electron distribution in transition metal complexes. These ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...
