For more than a century, magnesium has been prized as a reactive metal capable of facilitating a range of important organic syntheses—the Grignard reaction, for example. For calcium, which sits just ...

ELECTROMETALLURGY has at last succeeded in producing metallic calcium in commercial quantities, and at what must be considered a relatively low price. Until within a few weeks ago this metal had only ...

Dimethylcalcium may sound like a simple compound, but its synthesis has eluded chemists. Researchers reported a synthesis 60 years ago, but no one has reproduced it, casting doubt on whether ...

WHILE carrying out investigations in a number of aqueous solutions of electrolytes, we have observed the interesting feature of a decrease of ultrasonic velocity with increase of concentration in the ...
