Main-group chemistry has cycled between periods of prosperity and recession over the years. One reason for this is that the synthesis and characterization of main-group compounds--those of elements in ...

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 ...
