Past research already suggested heavy alkaline earth metals like these might break the rule because their d orbitals are often involved in bonding, something usually limited to transition metals.

Blink and you might miss it, but if you keep your eye on the monitors in professor Sebastian Will's lab, you'll catch a ...

Alkaline earth metal complexes have emerged as a dynamic field of study, challenging the long-standing dominance of transition metal catalysts in organic synthesis. These complexes, based on ...

As an alkaline earth metal, calcium plays a vital role in controlling soil pH (potential of hydrogen), a measure of the soil's acidity or alkalinity.

Skoltech researchers have investigated the use of polyaromatic hydrocarbons as anode materials in metal-ion batteries. The ...

Classified as an alkaline earth metal, it is located in group, or column, 2 on the periodic table, along with beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and radium. Each of their atoms contains two ...
