Dear colleagues,
We are writing to draw your attention to “FORTRESS: F block cOvalency and Reactivity defined by sTructural compressibility”, a c. £1M EPSRC-funded collaboration between Professors Polly Arnold and Simon Parsons at the University of Edinburgh, and Prof Nik Kaltsoyannis at the University of Manchester. This programme will explore the effect of high pressures on the compressibility of metal-ligand bonds and weak interactions between metals and solvent/ligand peripheral groups in isostructural 4f- and 5f-block molecules, using a combination of X-ray and neutron diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy, and computational chemistry. We are therefore seeking to recruit three talented postdocs, one each in the areas of (i) the synthesis and characterisation of air-sensitive molecules (ii) high pressure X-ray and neutron crystallography and (iii) computational molecular quantum chemistry. Links to the job ads are given below, and we would be very grateful if you could draw these to the attention of any suitable candidates.
With many thanks for your help,
Polly, Simon, and Nik
