Congratulations to the Preuss Group for the latest publication, entitled: “Slow magnetization dynamics in a six-coordinate Fe(II)-radical complex", authored by Carolyn A. Michalowicz, Michelle B. Mills, Ellen Song, Dmitriy V. Soldatov, Paul D. Boyle, Mathieu Rouzieres, Rodolph Clerac, and Kathryn E. Preuss, Dalton Trans., 2019, 48, 4514-4519. DOI: 10.1039/c9dt00558g This manuscript has been selected as a “HOT” article by Dalton Transactions (Royal Society of Chemistry) and is now part of the curated quarterly HOT article collection.  “A ‘HOT’ article contains research, which has been highlighted by reviewers as being interesting and significant research for the inorganic chemistry community.”

Congratulations to Harrison Young, an undergraduate student in the Preuss lab who has been selected to give a presentation at the 102nd Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition (CCCE) in Quebec City this June as part of the "Canada in 2067: The Future Starts Now" special symposium.  The symposium highlights outstanding undergraduate work froma ll areas of chemistry research, and only 20 students from across Canada were selected to present.

Congratulations to Sharon Chen for receiving the Richard J. Kokes Travel Award for the 26th North American Catalysis Society Meeting in Chicago, USA. This is a very competitive award with over 360 excellent applications submitted for ~100 awards granted. The Richard J. Kokes Travel Award program of North American Catalysis Society (NACS) aims to encourage undergraduate and graduate students to attend and participate in its biennial conference.
