  2. Transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal

    Late transition metals are on the right side of the d-block, from group 8 to 11 (or 12, if they are counted as transition metals). In an alternative three-way scheme, groups 3, 4, and 5 are classified as early transition metals, 6, 7, and 8 are classified as middle transition metals, and 9, 10, and 11 (and sometimes group 12) are classified as ...

  3. Photoredox catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoredox_catalysis

    Photoredox catalysis is a branch of photochemistry that uses single-electron transfer.Photoredox catalysts are generally drawn from three classes of materials: transition-metal complexes, organic dyes, and semiconductors.

  4. Surface properties of transition metal oxides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_properties_of...

    Transition metal oxides are compounds composed of oxygen atoms bound to transition metals. They are commonly utilized for their catalytic activity and semiconducting properties. Transition metal oxides are also frequently used as pigments in paints and plastics , most notably titanium dioxide .

  5. Tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum

    Tantalum is a very hard, ductile, lustrous, blue-gray transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as components of strong high-melting-point alloys .

  6. Zirconium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

    First identified in 1789, isolated in impure form in 1824, and manufactured at scale by 1925, pure zirconium is a lustrous transition metal with a greyish-white color that closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium.

  7. Post-transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transition_metal

    Periodic table extract showing the location of the post-transition metals. Zn, Cd and Hg are sometimes counted as post-transition metals rather than as transition metals. The dashed line is the traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The symbols for the elements commonly recognized as metalloids are in italics. The status of ...

  8. Technetium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium

    It is isomorphous to transition metal tetrachlorides of zirconium, hafnium, and platinum. [48] Chloro-containing coordination complexes of technetium (99 Tc) in various oxidation states: Tc(III), Tc(IV), Tc(V), and Tc(VI) represented. Two polymorphs of technetium trichloride exist, α- and β-TcCl 3. The α polymorph is also denoted as Tc 3 Cl 9.

  9. Group 12 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_12_element

    It is "typically the second most abundant transition metal in organisms" after iron and it is the only metal which appears in all enzyme classes. [111] There are 2–4 grams of zinc [ 114 ] distributed throughout the human body, [ 115 ] and it plays "ubiquitous biological roles". [ 116 ]
