CrystEngComm awarded two poster prizes at the American Crystallographic Association meeting 2011, in New Orleans last month.
The judges felt very strongly that Arbin Rajbanshi’s poster on “Alkali Metal-Coordination Cages for Selective Sulfate Binding and Separation” and Debasis Banerjee’s poster on “Design of New Magnesium Coordination Networks Using Solvents as Structure Directing Agents” were both excellent presentations.
Arbin Rajbanshi is based at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, working in the Chemical Separations Laboratory. Read this CrystEngComm paper that he co-authored:
Mapping out the synthetic landscape for re-crystallization, co-crystallization and salt formation
Christer B. Aakeröy, Arbin Rajbanshi, Z. Jane Li and John Desper, CrystEngComm, 2010, 12, 4231-4239
Debassis Banerjee is from Stony Brook University, USA, and works with John B. Parise.
