THERE is an increasing tendency on the part of organic chemists to apply the Berzelius dualistic theory, in a modified form, to organic compounds. In many theories of valency, individual groups are ...
Half-Heusler compounds based on XNiSn and XCoSb (X = Ti, Zr or Hf) have rapidly become important thermoelectric materials for converting waste heat into electricity. In this Review, we provide an ...
Some elements, particularly the transition metals, do not always have the same valency in their different compounds. The valency of these elements is usually given in roman numerals inside brackets.
