Chemists synthesize first stable copper metallocene complex, closing a 70-year gap
Almost half a century ago, a remarkable molecule called metallocene took center stage in chemistry, earning Geoffrey Wilkinson and Ernst Otto Fischer the Nobel Prize. These organic compounds, made of a transition metal "sandwiched" between two flat, ring-shaped organic layers, have since become an integral part of new-age polymers, materials, and pharmaceuticals.
