Abstract: Imaging finer structural details of atomically precise noble metal cluster crystals has been difficult with electron microscopy, owing to their extreme beam sensitivity. Here we present a simple method whereby lattice planes in single crystals… read more here.

Abstract: Herein, we report a distinct Cr-Cr sextuple bond with an ultra-short length stabilized by equatorial alkali metals. Bonding analyses indicate that the two desired 4p-pi bonds failed to be formed but the bonding strength is… read more here.

Abstract: The direct coupling of dinitrogen (N2) and methane (CH4) to construct the N–C bond is a fascinating but challenging approach for the energy-saving synthesis of N-containing organic compounds. Herein we identified a likely reaction pathway… read more here.
