Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have synthesized a Bi5⁻ ring, a molecule with five bismuth atoms, and stabilized it in a metal complex. Their discovery fills a gap in chemical knowledge and enables future applications in materials research, catalysis, and electronics. Their findings have been published in Nature Chemistry.
