Isolated transition metal clusters have been established as useful models for extended metal
surfaces or deposited metal particles, to improve the understanding of their surface …

Dihydrogen complexation with retention of the H–H bond, once an exotic concept, has by
now appeared in a very wide range of contexts. Three structural types are currently …

A generic definition of oxidation state (OS) is formulated:“The OS of a bonded atom equals
its charge after ionic approximation”. In the ionic approximation, the atom that contributes …

The oxidation state is the simplest attribute of an element in a compound. It is taught early in
the chemistry curriculum as a convenient electron-counting scheme for redox reactions. Its …

Functionalizing carbon-based materials with metal atoms has been proposed as an effective
method to enhance the adsorption of hydrogen molecules on these substrates, thereby …

Abstract Herein we report that 1, 4‐dilithio‐1, 3‐butadienes, a type of 1, 3‐butadienyl
dianion, can act as non‐innocent ligands, taking electrons from low‐valent transition metals …

Hydridic-to-protonic dihydrogen bonds (DHBs) are involved in comprehensive structural and
energetic evolution, and significantly affect reactivity and selectivity in solution and solid …

The structures, vibrational spectra, and electronic properties of copper hydroxide hydrates
CuOH+ (H2O) 3–7 were investigated with quantum chemistry computations. As a follow-up …

We report a novel method to reversibly attach and detach hydrogen molecules to positively
charged sodium clusters formed inside a helium nanodroplet host matrix. It is based on the …

Interactions between molecular hydrogen and ions are of interest in cluster science,
astrochemistry and hydrogen storage. In dynamical simulations, H2 molecules are usually …
