A collaboration of researchers from RUDN University (Russia), Centro de Química Estrutura (Portugal) and Baku State University (Azerbaijan) proposes a new potential method to produce initial compounds for many chemical industries, including pharmacy, cosmetics, dyes and liquid crystal production. The new method of room-temperature synthesis has high yields, and is described in two articles published in the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry and in Inorganica Chimica Acta.
