Women in Chemistry in Australia: From a Slow Start to a More Promising Future

An inspiring article by Margaret M. Sheil! Since the early 1900s, pioneering women in Australian chemistry have paved the way for future generations, building a strong network of role models and mentors. #AusJChem #chemistry @csiropublishing.bsky.social

Thermal- and light-induced valence tautomerism with a concerted spin transition in an iron tris(diimine) complex The switching phenomena of spin crossover (SCO) and valence tautomerism (VT) are respectively dominated by iron(ii) and cobalt-dioxolene systems. To explore new possibilities for SCO or VT, the redox-...

Excited to share another paper from my PhD - out in Chemical Science!
First time valence tautomerism has occurred with a spin-state change in an iron complex. This allowed us to show light-induced valence tautomerism is possible for non-cobalt-dioxolene complexes.πŸ’ŽπŸ§²βš—οΈ

Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind.

Cobalt Complexes with Aminophenolate Ligands: Spin Crossover and Ligand Versatility A search for switchable molecules has afforded a family of cobalt complexes featuring derivatives of 2-aminophenol: 4,6-di-tert-butyl aminophenol (H2LH) and 2-anilino-4,6-di-tert-butyl aminophenol (H2...

Congratulations to Haseena Ismail on her first PhD paper in Inorganic Chemistry!
Tricky to figure out the Co redox & spin state variation & ligand redox & protonation variation.
