Chemistry of alkaline earth metals: It is not all ionic and definitely not boring!

KM Fromm - Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
Some scientists might consider group 2 chemistry as “boring, closed shell and all ionic,
aqueous chemistry, where everything is known! It is not worth investigating”. How wrong …
