Congratulations to Prof. Aidan McDonald, one of only a few scientists to have been awarded an ERC, Marie Skłodowska-Curie and an Erasmus award.
Congratulations to Prof. Sylvia Draper and her group on getting the front cover of ChemPhotoChem. The Front Cover illustrates the importance of choosing the right accessory (or chromophoric appendage) depending on the occasion (i.e. the desired application for the coordination chemist). By varying the organic chromophores on the RuII complex, the triplet photosensitising behaviour can be improved and tuned. More information can be found in the article by Y. Lu et al. on page 544 in Issue 12, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cptc.201700158).
Chemistry will unveil its exciting new Chemical Sciences stream (TR061) for 2018/19 on Saturday 9th December. Come and speak to us at our stand in the Hamilton Building between 9am and 3.30pm.
