Alkaline earth metals: heterometallic bonding
The alkaline earth metals are notorious for their tendency to form ionic compounds of their dications. In recent years, however, chemists have found ways to kinetically skirt around the edges of these...

Electrostatic Fields Induce Accelerated Proton Coupled Electron Transfer Rates in Chlorophyll Model Compounds
Chlorophyll-based pigments are crucial mediators of redox processes in photosynthesis, serving as the primary electron donors in photosystems I and II. Despite their structural similarities, these pig...

Soft magnetic hysteresis in a dysprosium amide–alkene complex up to 100 kelvin - Nature
A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.
