The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory.

For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted byproducts in future chemistry.

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 ...

A new stable 20-electron derivative of ferrocene has been synthesized, challenging the long-standing textbook 18-electron rule in organometallic chemistry. The breakthrough could lead to new ...
