China Successfully Prepares Rare Earth Triple-Bond Compound 24

Recently, a Chinese research team achieved a major breakthrough in rare earth chemistry. Researchers from Soochow University, in collaboration with those from Tsinghua University, successfully synthesized a rare earth triple-bond compound, long considered a “forbidden zone” in scientific research. This achievement challenges traditional understanding of rare earth elements’ bonding capabilities, with the findings published in Nature Chemistry. Rare earth elements include scandium, yttrium, and the 15 lanthanide elements. Due to their unique magnetic, optical, electrical, and catalytic properties, rare earth…
