Researchers in India have developed a revolutionary osmium sandwich complex that incorporates two boron-centered rings, representing the inaugural genuine instance of a carbon-free ferrocene analogue. This pioneering compound broadens our comprehension of metal-ligand interactions. Ferrocene, in its traditional form, consists of an iron atom located between two cyclopentadienyl rings. A 2002 discovery unveiled the isolation […]
