All chemistry starts with a push from electrons. In the early moments of a chemical reaction, it's the movement of electrons ...

Molecular crystals with conductivity and magnetism, due to their low impurity concentrations, provide valuable insights into valence electrons. They have helped link charge ordering to ...

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 ...

Chemists have developed a way to use free electrons to steer reactions beyond the limits imposed by conventional electron-transfer rules. Credit: Shutterstock Free electrons offer chemists a new way ...
