Resolving Crustal and Subcrustal Dynamic Sources in Continental Arc Magmas: The Cenozoic Andean Arc of Central Chile

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Andean margin of Central Chile (∼32°40′–34°30′S) records abundant Cenozoic arc magmatic activity with variable compositional characteristics. This is examined through the analysis of an extensive database of new and published whole‐rock geochemistry and Sr‐Nd isotopic compositions, in addition to zircon Hf and O isotopic compositions.

Evaluating Aromaticity in Ag6Ru and Ag10Ru as Electron‐Precise Superatom Clusters

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 11, June 2, 2025.
An exhaustive study of Ag6Ru and Ag10Ru clusters reveals their stability and aromaticity. The analysis shows these species possess precise electron shell structures, classifying them as planar and spherical superatoms. Ag6Ru exhibits a ten‐electron shell, while Ag10Ru shows 18 electrons.
