Manganese halides have emerged as versatile materials in optoelectronics owing to their strong d–d electronic transitions, tunable emission characteristics and structural diversity. By combining ...

Multiferroic compounds have the potential to be energy-efficient information storage devices, but it has been difficult to realize the simultaneous control of multiple ferroic orders. Researchers ...

IN the course of investigations on the reduction of metal halides by atomic hydrogen, using apparatus previously described 1,2, I have found that the halides of lithium, sodium, potassium and caesium ...

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is an extremely toxic, corrosive gas and liquid. As the lightest of the hydrogen halides, it has a surprisingly high boiling point, higher even than that of hydrogen iodide. The ...

One of organic chemists’ dirty little secrets, says Boston College’s Amir Hoveyda, is how hard it is to make alkenyl halides, a motif that features a halide attached to a double bond. “We use them all ...

What can methyl halides, which are gases that consist of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms while being attached to a halogen atom, help scientists identify life beyond Earth? This is what a recent ...
