MH2+ is formed in endothermic reactions at low energies for all four metals. At high energy, MH+, MCH2+, and MCH3+ are the major products. A molecular orbital model previously used to explain the reactivity of metal ions with H2 is extended to explain the reactivity seen here. The ...
Cyclometalated and polypyridyl complexes of d6 metals are promising photoredox catalysts, using light to drive reactions with high kinetic or thermodynamic barriers via the generation of reactive radical intermediates. However, while tuning of their redox potentials, absorption energy, excited-state lifeti...
Activity Series of Metals: Predicting Reactivity By Todd Helmenstine Thus, cesium is themost reactive metalon the periodic table. In general, the alkali metals are the most reactive, followed by the alkaline earths and transition metals. The noble metals (silver, platinum, gold) are not very r...
There have been a number of investigations into the nature of these processes, and they are broadly categorized as parasitic and irreversible cathode-electrolyte reactions, trace moisture resulting in the dissolution of transition metals and interactions with electrolyte components, acidic attack on ...

In this aspect, the d-band theory of chemisorption pioneered by Hammer and Nørskov2,3,4,5,6 has been widely used for understanding reactivity trends of d-block metals7,8 and, to some extent, their compounds9. However, its quantitative prediction accuracy using individual d-band ...
borophosphine and the ions H−and H+to estimate the Lewis acidity and Lewis basicity, respectively; by their nature, these energies represent local reactivity descriptors. Some of these borophosphines are able to activate the covalent bond in the hydrogen molecule. Possible paths for the ...
fueled by the Europeans’ relentless appetite for spices and precious metals, certainly accelerated when more balanced diets and healthier ship crews enabled longer maritime voyages. Nowadays, vitamin C is a common dietary supplement even though its ability to prevent or cure diseases, ranging from th...
for the development of new renewable energy technologies based on this process is the oxygen evolution reaction (OER)6—one of the electrochemical half reactions for water splitting—where the current catalysts of choice are made from oxides of expensive noble metals, unfeasible for large-scale ...
