Seminar Series - Low-valent 1st row Transition Metals: Catalytic Activity and Unusual Magnetic Behaviour

25 January 2019

Time: 12:30 - 1:30pm
Speaker: Dr Emma Richards, Cardiff University
Venue: Room 2.40, Bancroft Building

In this Chemistry and Biochemistry seminar, Dr Emma Richards of Cardiff University will deliver a talk on ‘Low-valent 1st row Transition Metals: Catalytic Activity and Unusual Magnetic Behaviour'.

Dr Emma Richards' research group focuses on utilizing the powerful technique of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and associated hyperfine methodologies [e.g. Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR), Hyperfine Sublevel Correlation Spectroscopy (HYSCORE) and Pulsed Electron Double Resonance (PELDOR)] in two main areas of activity:

1. investigating electron transfer processes in condensed matter materials of importance in visible-light activated catalysis,
2. elucidating the nature of transition metal active sites in metalloenzymes and bioinorganic systems.

This seminar is open to all.
