Valence tautomerism (VT) in transition metal complexes is a fascinating phenomenon in which reversible intramolecular electron transfer between the metal centre and a redox‐active ligand results in ...

Valence electrons -- those residing in an atom's outermost shell and engaging in bonding with other atoms -- proved to be a pivotal factor. By using metals with a higher valence electron count, the ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

Valence electrons, located in the outermost shell of an atom, play an important role in driving chemical reactions and forming bonds with other atoms. But imaging these particles as they perform this ...

Samples of a class of ceramics, known as high-entropy carbides, that have been engineered to withstand more force and stress before breaking. Researchers have discovered a way to make ceramics tougher ...
