Work of members of MALTA-Team recently appears in Angewandte Chemie.

Highs and lows of bond lengths: Is there any limit? Bonds cannot be compressed or elongated at will. Two bond-length keepers watch for the stability of chemical bonds by imposing limits that cannot be exceeded. At short distances, the hard-sphere boundary prevents the interaction to be positive. At long distances, the spinodal condition avoid the bond force constant to be negative. Both are intrinsic consequences of the bond length at equilibrium.

Congratulations to all the authors.

The cover is an artistic representation of the motifs formed by an organic molecule (para-terphenyl-meta-dicarbonitrile) after deposition on a silver(111) surface according to scanning tunneling microscopy observations. The role of the surface in this gas-phase computational study is implicit as only the formation of bi-dimensional-like structures is allowed.

Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions in AB2X4 Chalcogenide Compounds.
This book on pressure-induced phase transitions in AB2X4 chalcogenide compounds deals with one important AmBnXp material. The interest in these materials is caused by their properties. The results are discussed for three main groups of structural families: cubic-spinel structures, defective tetragonal structures, and other structures like layered and wurtzite-type modifications. A systematic analysis of the behavior of cubic (spinel), tetragonal (defect chalcopyrites and stannites) and other crystal modifications of AB2X4 compounds under hydrostatic pressure is performed

Highlighted article: High-pressure experimental study on Rb2S: antifluorite to Ni2In-type phase transitions
Rubidium sulfide, Rb2S, with an antifluorite-type structure at 1 bar, has been studied up to 8 GPa using angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction in a diamond-anvil cell. Two different high-pressure phases have been characterized: (i) an anticotunnite-type structure (P > 0.7 GPa) and (ii) an Ni2In-type structure (P > 2.6 GPa)

Can metals be a liquid glass?
The melting of transition metals on compression is a challenging topic. Computer simulations suggest that hot-compressed tantalum becomes a one-dimensional, liquid-like glass, with important implications for understanding planetary interiors.
