One area of interest is the coordination compounds of late transition metals, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, which are often based on functionalized ligands. For instance, a review highlighted ...

The table shows the melting point and density of iron, compared to three non-transition metals. Iron, a transition metal, has a higher melting point and a higher density than the non-transition ...

The migration energy barrier monotonically decreased with increasing d-shell occupancy, reaching as low as 0.4 eV for Cr, Mo(d4), and Fe (d4). Alloying with late transition metals (d8 and d9) ...
