First-generation graduate chemists face challenges throughout their entire academic lifetime Study highlights need for mentorship and more inclusive networks

23% of first-generation students said they felt like impostors, compared to just 2% of non-first-generation students. They were less likely to be invited to summer lab placements and less likely to report having family support.

Ultrafast competition between CO release and spin crossover upon photoexcitation of a cyclopropenone-bipyridyl FeII complex The photo-triggered release of carbon monoxide (CO) from a cyclopropenone-bipyridyl ligand and its iron(ii) complex was investigated using a combination of stationary and ultrafast time-resolved spect...

Great to see this collaboration with the Temps group out in @pccp.rsc.org with our contributions led by Tjorge and Marc! We report that spin-crossover competes with photodecarbonylation when an Fe-CPOne is irradiated. Thanks to @dfg.de for funding pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
