Research into single-molecule magnetism lies at the nexus of challenging synthetic chemistry, spin physics and ab initio quantum chemistry. There are no “one-size-fits-all” textbooks and as such it ca...

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) based on dysprosocenium cations, [Dy(CpR)2]+ (CpR = substituted cyclopentadienyl), have set record effective energy barriers to magnetic reversal (Ueff) and temperatures...

Manchester is closing the gap on London, with public money having helped to ‘crowd in’ a lot of private investment

Just like how GPS triangulates your location using satellites, scientists can now place labels at different positions around the surface of a protein to visualise drug-binding interactions more clearl...

Two heteroleptic octahedral Dy(iii) cis-aryloxide complexes, [Dy(OPh*)2(THF)3X] {HOPh* = 2,6-bis(diphenyl-methyl)-4-tert-butylphenol; X = Cl (1), Br (2)}, have been characterised by multi-frequency…

PhD scholarship in switchable f-block–organic framework materials. The PhD project will focus on the design, synthesis, and characterization of new types of metal-organic network structures, which inc...

Dysprosium single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with two mutually trans-anionic ligands have shown large crystal field (CF) splitting, giving record effective energy barriers to magnetic reversal (Ueff) and hysteresis temperatures (TH). However, these complexes tend to be bent, imposing a transverse field that red
