We've been busy! Another publication from our collaboration with Profs Chalker and Flewitt has been published this week. We report here on how aluminium incorporation changes the semiconducting properties of bulk SnO. Read about it here: iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

Influence of aluminium incorporation on the semiconducting properties of p-type tin monoxide

DFT calculations (@MacgregorChem) shed light on the role of the trans ligand (alkene, alkane, allyl) in the reversible nature of the C-H activation of the backbone. @WellerYorkChem
