Coordination polymers are a fantastically diverse class of molecular materials. Here we look at a few examples of their unique structures and properties.

Making a coordination polymer is a complicated process with many potential variables. Here we look at the advantages of a few different synthesis methods.

Exploiting the unique properties of coordination polymers requires full understanding of their formation. Here we look at how in-situ x-ray diffraction helps to uncover some of the details.

Intermittently fluorescing single molecule systems are found in many materials, including semiconductor quantum dots (QD), dyes on crystalline or nanoparticle film surfaces, and biological systems. The QD's show a ~ -3/2 power law for the distributio....

Quasicrystals - or, as Shechtman would prefer, quasi-periodic materials - now have scientists thinking about matter in a new light, but they also have many possible practical applications. Because of their uneven structure, quasicrystals do not have ....

Aki decribes her experiments in improving soils using various buffering materials.

What do six brides have to do with Density-Functional Theory? Discover it in this lecture, in which the essential ideas behind DFT are explained in three different non-technical ways. After this practical lecture, you will be able to understand the m....

When he received the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with Richard E. Smalley (who also worked at Rice) and Sir Harold Kroto (at the time at the University of Sussex, UK), this was a true example of national and international scientific collabo....
