Transition elements, or metals, are a category of materials in the periodic table that are set apart from the "major group" or "A series" elements by their ability to use either the penultimate and outermost electron shells to bond with other...

In chemistry, the term transition metal (sometimes also called a transition element) has two possible...

During the past decade, interest in transition metal nitrides has grown considerably. Nitrides of various elements play an important role in industry, science, and technology for their interesting and useful resilient properties. For example, many transition metal nitrides based on titanium, boron, and nitrogen...

The search for stereoselectivity and new reactivity patterns has promoted the wider acceptance of the use of organotransition metals in organic synthesis. Popularity of catalytic methods has come first, because often a conventional step in a synthesis plan can simply be replaced by...
