The breadth of main group elements spanning the period table inherently lends itself to diverse chemistry, not least owing to the versatile reactivity of the s- and p-block elements. Research into ...

Think of bismuth as the Cinderella of the periodic table. Because it is surrounded by its toxic stepsiblings—the elements lead, tin, antimony, tellurium, and polonium—chemists often overlook bismuth ...

When it comes to eliminating toxic and expensive heavy metals in the chemical industry, a new study from the University of Würzburg points the way forward. The team led by chemistry professor Holger ...
