Spherical atoms have the highest geometrical symmetry. Due to this symmetry, atomic orbitals are highly degenerate, leading to closed-shell stability and magnetism. No substances with greater degrees of degeneracy are known, due to geometrical limitations. We now propose that realistic magnesium, zinc, and cadmium clu…

We present a quantitative physical model based on experimentally determined parameter values for the description of the way that dielectric breakdown occurs after a period of stressing at fields below the critical values required for deterministic theories. It is found that for most of the material lifetime isolated r…

The substitution of a pyrrolide ring for one (or more) pyridyl rings within the ubiquitous terpyridine (tpy, A ) scaffold results in more open geometries of the pyridine–pyrrolide chelate ligands. DFT calculations (B3LYP-GD3BJ/6-31G**) demonstrate that the more open geometries of the unbound ligands are mismatched wit…
