• Climate protection: CO₂ turned into methanol
  

  For reasons of climate protection, carbon dioxide must not be released into the atmosphere. Wherever the formation of carbon dioxide cannot be prevented, it should be captured and converted into other substances. The best possible solution is creating substances that have value and can be sold. A ne more

• How light activates MoS2 layers to become catalysts
  

  Thin films of molybdenum and sulfur belong to a class of materials that can be considered for use as photocatalysts. Inexpensive catalysts such as these are needed to produce hydrogen as a fuel using solar energy. However, they are still not very efficient as catalysts. A new instrument at the Helmh more

• 2D sandwich sees molecules with clarity
  

  A sandwich of molybdenum, sulfur and selenium turns out to be deliciously useful for detecting biomolecules. Tests at Rice University's Brown School of Engineering of a two-dimensional Janus compound showed it could be an effective and universal platform for improving the detection of biomolecules v more

Transition Metals

This graphic looks at some general properties of the transition metals – I had a little less space to work with than with the previous graphics, on account of the large number of elements that the transition metals encompass, but hopefully what’s included is still of use. more

• Synthesis of cationic molybdenum-cobalt heterometallic clusters protected against hydrolysis by macrocyclic triazacyclononane complexes

  Four kinds of cobalt-polyoxomolybdenum clusters were synthesized by a combination of polyoxomolybdates and a Co-tacn (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) complex. The heterometallic polynuclear clusters were obtained by the reaction of Na2MoO4 and [Co(tacn)(H2O)3](CF3SO3)3∙H2O in aqueous solution. The p more

• Cooperative Bimetallic Reactivity of a Heterodinuclear Molybdenum-Copper Model of Mo-Cu CODH

  The synthesis of a heterodinucleating ligand LH2 (LH2 = (E)-3-(((2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethyl-5-((pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)-9H-xanthen-4-yl)amino)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol) was undertaken toward a functional model of the bimetallic active site found in Mo-Cu carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (Mo-Cu C more
