International Women’s Day at Dalton Transactions

As the 8th March is International Women’s Day Dalton Transactions is highlighting the first published advanced article of the day by a female corresponding author.

Congratulations to Susannah L. Scott, who investigates how pincer-ligated iridium complexes with a phosphinite substituent can be immobilised onto a support to form an effective catalyst for the dehydrogenation of alkanes.
