Two further X-ray crystallographic studies finally confirmed the sandwich structure of ferrocene, with the iron atom, indeed providing the metallic filling in a pentagonal antiprism defined by two ...

When X-rays from the synchrotron hit the iron atom in a complex structure of ring-shaped molecules, electrons from the iron atom quantum-tunnel to the tip of an instrument just half a nanometer away.

Single-atom catalysts revolutionize water purification: efficient and selective generation of reactive oxygen species for global water challenges. Researchers detail how downsizing active sites to the ...

A novel molecular system enables controlled iron release using green light, combining ferrocene with a carbon nanohoop for potential therapeutic applications.
