Carbonyl Atlas
Sixty-one years of metal carbonyl photochemistry, in one database
The Carbonyl Atlas in numbers: papers, data records, mechanism records, setups and metals; papers per year 1965 to 2026; the parent molecules with most data; data records by phase
351 papers from 1965 to 2026, 31,565 data records, 9,053 mechanism records, 4,156 experimental setups and 20 metals. Columns give papers per year; bars give data records per parent molecule and per phase.
