Isomers (compounds with the same chemical formula) can be broadly classified into (i) stereoisomers (e.g. geometrical and optical) with the same connectivity but having different spatial arrangements and (ii) structural ...

Carbon monoxide is a good π-acceptor and the M-C bond in metal carbonyls [M(CO)n ] has a significant π character. Thus, the M-C bond is strengthened and the carbon oxygen bond is weakened with the increase in back bonding.

Metathesis of simple salts is a double replacement reaction as shown below. AX + BY → AY + BX In Greek, “Metathesis” is known as the change of position or transposition. Olefin metathesis (OM) is the catalytic scission ...

Organic chemistry is basically the study of synthesis, reactions, properties, and structures of carbon-containing compounds. Organic reactions can be classified into four main types: addition, elimination (E), substitution, ...

Palladium complexes catalyze many types of organic reactions. It is particularly useful in forming carbon- carbon bonds.

Nowadays people feel the need to enhance their immunity by consuming various nutritional food and beverages. From ancient times, Asian women have been using spices, not only to boost the taste and aroma, but also to ...

Boron hydrides are a class of electron deficient compounds that have unusual bonding behavior and form cages and clusters. The electron deficient BH3 is the simplest boron hydride which exists as a dimer B2 H6 ...

Metal centres of d-block form coordination compounds with ligands which can donate a pair of electrons. These ligands are known as sigma donors or Lewis bases. Some ligands that consist of suitable vacant orbitals ...
