There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Prof. Matthew Shores, Colorado State University
Putting a New Spin on Coordination Complex Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series
Research in the Shores group comprises the synthesis and study of novel paramagnetic metal complexes, with the goal of controlling spin in molecular species and molecule-based materials. The main focus of this presentation will be on our efforts to link host-guest chemistry with the spin-crossover phenomenon. This family of Fe(II) complexes offers the possibility of using magnetometryâ"and in some cases, visible color changesâ"to report host-guest interactions in solution; it also provides an experimental platform for probing the influence of weak interactions on spin-crossover properties. The preparations, characterizations, and anion-binding studies of these and related complexes will be presented.
