Explore Dalton Transactions’ latest Tutorial Review

We are delighted to share with you the latest Dalton Transactions: Tutorial Review.

Tutorial Reviews are designed to introduce readers to a concept or methodology at the forefront of inorganic chemistry research and should particularly appeal to early career researchers as well as established researchers seeking new fields to explore.

Our Tutorial reviews will include a ‘key learning points’ box, highlighting up to five points that a reader should expect to gain from reading the review.

Our latest Tutorial Review has just been published

Be sure to read our latest Tutorial Review, written by Kristof Altus, Andrew Weller and colleagues from University of York, a user guide to in crystallo single-crystal to single-crystal transformations using solid/gas methods.

Here are the key learning points in this Tutorial Review:
  1. An introduction to solid/gas in crystallo solid-state molecular organometallic chemistry (SMOM) and a comparison with other solid-state organometallic techniques.
  2. Overview of the design principles of SMOM and general considerations needed to enable successful reactivity in crystallo.
  3. A step-by-step user guide to SMOM including preparation of crystalline material, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, bulk reactivity considerations, gas purity and handling, solid/vapour reactivity and the use of NMR spectroscopy in SMOM.
