Scientists Create the Impossible: New Compound Challenges Fundamental Principle of Chemistry
Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has been a foundational guideline in organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have synthesized a new organometallic compound that [...]
