Isolation of a planar π-aromatic Bi5– ring in a cobalt-based inverse sandwich-type complex
Monocyclic aromatic molecules are well-known in organic chemistry and for coordination chemistry. In contrast, isoelectronic cycles comprising (semi)metal atoms only are much rarer. We present Bi5−, the so far elusive heaviest analogue of (C5H5)− which we trapped in an inverse-sandwich-type complex.

From pore to process: an industrially promising application for MOFs in separating the most potent greenhouse gas
SF6/N2 separation is crucial for sustainable development. Here, we prepared low-cost and robust MOF composite pellets and established a vacuum temperature swing adsorption process with both high recovery and high purity of SF6.
A Treasure Hunt in Chemistry: AI Leading the Way to New Materials
Chemistry is a treasure hunt, with countless “treasures” hidden in element combinations. AI is transforming material discovery. Our research uses simple oxides to predict complex compositions, revealing hidden patterns and paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries.
