CYTOLOGY: THE FIRST HYBRID MOLECULE OBTAINED THROUGH CHEMISTRY OF TYPE METAL UNION -

Karate Breaking Stand Plans
A group of chemists led by Lucy Ziurys of the University of Arizona (USA) inserted for the first time an atom of zinc in a molecule of methane gas. The recent "hybrid molecule" could be used in chemical production processes as the synthesis of organic compounds and drug development. The research group also determined the detailed structure of the metal binding - methane, estimated only by theoretical calculations but never observed until now in the real world.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas more powerful than carbon dioxide, is produced by decomposing organic matter and is a main ingredient of natural gas. By interacting with other chemical molecules is inert, non-reactive or "antisocial" but this time it was possible to do so prone to react with other substances in very extreme conditions through the insertion of a metal that allowed it more reactive, and turned to the experts, it is possible to produce, for example, methanol.
Ziurys said " Our data show that zinc is right and appears on the bond between the carbon atom to one of four hydrogen atoms in methane. People have speculated about this, but this is the first Once someone has shown that this is what actually happens . " Although, the new molecule is stable for a few seconds was very difficult to obtain in the laboratory and its chemical reaction also is not complicated it is very unlikely to occur in nature.
