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.

Chemists use single-electron transfers to synthesize complex, ring-shaped molecular structures found in many drug candidates and advanced materials, but current techniques still have limitations. A ...

Electron transfer reactions lie at the heart of modern organic synthesis, enabling transformations that range from selective bond activation to radical‐mediated cyclisations. Mechanistically, these ...
