  • Corrosion and Its Consequences 
    Priyantha, Namal (Institue of Chemistry Ceylon, 2023-06)
    Corrosion is the gradual deterioration of material, usually a metal, by chemical or electrochemical oxidation with their environment. It is a natural, thermodynamically favorable process. Rusting, the formation of iron ...
  • Metal Carbonyls 
    Perera, K. Sarath. D. (Institute of Chemistry, 2020-09)
    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.
  • Metal Hydrides 
    Perera, K. Sarath. D. (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2021-04)
    We know that main group hydrides such as LiAlH4 and NaBH4 are the common reducing agents used by organic chemists to reduce aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids. Transition metal hydrides act as ...
