Organometallic compounds, molecules made up of metal atoms and organic molecules, are often used to accelerate chemical reactions and have played a significant role in advancing the field of chemistry ...
A research team recently discovered the first organometallic molecule — coined “berkelocene” — containing the heavy element berkelium at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab. An ...
