Mitsuo Kira presents Dalton Prize to Yuki Morita

Many congratulations to Mr Yuki Morita of Shizuoka University in Japan who was the Dalton Transactions poster prize winner at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Silicon Chemistry Japan last month.

The meeting was organised by Dr Kotaro Osakada of Tokyo Institute of Technology and was held from the 19th to 20th November in Yugawara, Japan. Yuki’s winning poster is entitled ‘Fabrication of oligosilane nanocrystals including aromatic compounds and observation of their exciplex-like emission‘.

Just this year Dalton Transactions featured Silicon Chemistry in our themed issue entitled ‘New Horizon of Organosilicon Chemistry’.
