Introducing our new Chair, Russell Morris

18 Feb 2020

By Daphne Houston.

We would like to offer a very warm welcome to our new Dalton Transactions Chair, Professor Russell Morris.

Russell Morris was born in St Asaph, North Wales and completed a DPhil at the University of Oxford. From 1991-1995 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California Santa Barbara before returning to the UK to take up a position at the University of St Andrews, where he is now Professor of Structural and Materials Chemistry. His research interests lie in the synthesis, characterisation and application of porous solids. Among his notable research successes are the development of ionothermal synthesis, the chiral induction of solids built from achiral precursors, the characterisation of solids using microcrystal X-ray diffraction and the application of porous solids in medicine and biology, particularly for the delivery of biologically active gases such as nitric oxide. His recent achievements include the development of the ADOR synthesis of zeolite frameworks. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Learned Society of Wales. He currently holds an EPSRC Senior Fellowship.

Congratulations to the Dalton Transactions Prize winners at ACCC7!

18 Dec 2019

By Karina Webster, Editorial Assistant.

The 7th Asian Conference on Coordination Chemistry took place at the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia between 15 – 18 October. The first six ACCC conferences were successfully held in Okazaki (Japan, 2007), Nanjing (China, 2009), New Delhi (India, 2011), Jeju (Korea, 2013), Hong Kong (2015) and Melbourne (Australia, 2017). ACCC7 gathered inorganic and coordination chemists from all over the world to present their recent research findings and to exchange ideas on the frontier research topics in inorganic and coordination chemistry. The conference also served to showcase the fast development of coordination chemistry in the Asia/Pacific region.

Themed sessions we held on a range of topics including; biomedical materials, coordination chemistry, functional inorganic materials, lanthanides and actinides, supramolecular, organometallic and more. The conference was attended by delegates from at least 27 countries around the world, including Japan, China, Australia, South Africa, Chile, Saudi Arabia, India and Canada as well as many countries in Europe. You can find out more about ACCC7, including information regarding the Plenary & Invited speakers, on their website.

The 4 day conference was a huge success and Dalton Transactions is pleased to have sponsored 6 prizes. We sponsored 3 Early Career Researcher Presentation awards and 3 Young Coordination Chemist Poster Prizes and each winner received a certificate with a £100 RSC book voucher, a 1 year digital subscription to Dalton Transactions and personal invitation to submit to the journal.

Guest-edited by Simon B. Duckett, M. Carmen Nicasio and Michael K. Whittlesey, we reccently published a special collection of Dalton Transactions to mark the 70th birthday of mentor, friend and colleague, Professor Robin Perutz FRS. The collection features areas of organometallic and coordination chemistry where Robin has contributed over the last 40+ years. Themed around the breaking of bonds, it includes both thermal and photochemical bond breakage and activation in stoichiometric and catalytic reactions. Spectroscopic characterisation of reaction intermediates features alongside experimental and computational studies of reactivity.
