Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

The humble lawn, a mainstay in many gardens, requires more than the occasional mow and weed to stay vibrant and green.

The evaporation of intermediate-volatility organic compounds (IVOCs) from vehicle emissions substantially contributes to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and ozone (O3) formation. However, the limited ...

Here’s what to know about thimerosal: What is thimerosal? Thimerosal, which the Food and Drug Administration describes as a “mercury-containing organic compound,” is used as a preservative in vaccines ...

Thimerosal, which contains an organic compound of mercury, has mostly been phased out as a preservative for vaccines. Here’s ...

There is much uncertainty regarding the sources of reactive mercury (RM) compounds and atmospheric chemistry driving their formation. This work focused on assessing the chemistry and potential sources ...

Mercury is in some sense an enigmatic element. The element and some of its compounds are a natural part of the biogeochemical cycle; while many of these can be deadly poisons at higher levels, ...
