doping (of a semiconductor etc) with a single material
n
(chemistry) Any univalent substance.
adj
Consisting of, or relating to, multiple atoms

n
(chemistry) any cation having more than one positive charge
adj
(chemistry) Synonym of polydentate
adj
(chemistry, of a ligand) Coordinated to the central atom by several bonds; multidentate
n
Alternative form of pseudohomolog [(inorganic chemistry) Either of a pair of lanthanides or actinides and related transition elements that have similar chemical properties because of similar electronic structure.]
adj
(chemistry) Having an atomic valence of 5.
n
(chemistry, physics) The labelling of a material with a radiohalogen.
n
(chemistry) A ligand of this kind.
adj
(chemistry, of a ligand) Capable of attaching to a metal ion at three points
