Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

Beneath our feet, an invisible world of electron exchanges quietly drives the chemistry that sustains ecosystems, controls ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding.

Scientists are calling for changes to chemistry textbooks after discovering a fundamental aspect of structural organic chemistry has been incorrectly described for almost 100 years. The team from ...
