On the periodic table of elements, transition metals are elements with partially filled d orbitals, or that have the ability to form partially filled d orbitals. An orbital is a location in an atom where we'll most likely find an electron (a negatively charged subatomic particle); they ...
transition metals. Aqueous solutions containing the +3 cations prepared by dissolving the halides are acidic as a result of hydrolysis in which a coordinated water molecule donates a proton to a solvent molecule. In keeping with their lower charge to size ratios, the +2 ions produce less acidic...

As a result, simple rules for the alloying behaviour of transition metals are formulated which have an accuracy between 96 and 100%; the electronegativity concept is shown to apply also for hydrogen in metals. The relation between the charge transferred per atom, ΔZ a, and the difference in...
Transition metals: Taking charge
The observation of "anomalous" charge transport properties in high-Tc cuprates, such as the T-linear resistivity and the strongly temperature dependent Hall effect, have motivated us to search for exotic charge transport in transition metal oxides and chalcogenides which experience metal to charge tra...

We foundthat the valence charge of transition metals dramatically influencesthe reaction pathways. Catalytic reactions involving lower-oxidation-statetransition metals (M I /M III , M = Co and Rh) generallyfavor a [3 + 2] cyclization pathway, whereas those involving higheroxidation states (M III...
Transition metals: Taking charge The oxidation state of a transition metal in a crystal lattice is conventionally viewed as reflecting physical ionization: electrons have been transferred to or from the atom, leaving a point-like charged entity (ion). Such a picture is still sometimes invoked to ...
Precise control from the bottom-up for realizing tunable functionality is of utmost importance to facilitate the development of molecular electronic devices. Until now, however, manipulating charge carriers over single-molecule scale remains intractable.
