Green Chemistry @ MUN

A paper describing the collective work of three undergraduates in the Green Chemistry and Catalysis Group has been accepted for publication in the journal Polyhedron. The work was done by Lisa Saunders (who is headed for grad school at Queen’s U.) during a USRA project, Michelle Pratt during a MUCEP work term (who is starting at MUN medical school this September) and Sarah Hann, who was employed as a summer research assistant in the group and is currently a med. student at MUN.

The paper is entitled: “Structural Variations in the Coordination Chemistry of Amine-bis(phenolate) Cobalt(II/III) Complexes” and should appear on-line shortly. Thanks to Lisa, Michelle and Sarah for their hard work on these capricious cobalt complexes, and to Andreas Decken (UNB Crystallography Service) and Louise Dawe (C-CART XRD lab) for their expertise.
