Gagliardi Group research featured on February 5th cover of JACS
Gagliardi group research was featured on the February 5 cover of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The study established magnetic and bonding properties for specific metal-metal pairings, which holds promise for achieving predictable and precise control of cluster properties through metal atom substitution. The work is a collaboration between the groups of Laura Gagliardi, Connie Lu, and Eckhard Bill, Ph.D., from the Max Planck for Chemical Energy Conversion. Graduate student Steve Tereniak designed and executed the syntheses. Graduate student Becky Carlson performed the theoretical calculations with assistance from Rémi Maurice, Ph.D., and Hyun Jung Kim. The anomalous X-ray scattering experiments were performed by Laura Clouston from the Lu group, Vic Young Jr., Ph.D., and Yu-Sheng Chen, Ph.D., from ChemMatCARS.

Allison Dzubak, William Isley III, and Pragya Verma collaborated with some Berkeley post-doctorates and graduate students in a recent study as part of the activities of the University of Minnesota-based Nanoporous Materials Genome Center.
Rémi Maurice moves back to Nancy, France.
He received a permanent positon as Researcher at CNRS France. Congratulations Rémi and good luck!
David Semrouni’s paper on Ab Initio Extension of the AMOEBA Polarizable Force Field to Fe(II) appears on the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computations.
Laura gave a talk at the Gordon Conference on Electron Distribution and Chemical Bonding, Les Diablerets, Switzerland, June 2-7.
Laura gave a talk on the catalysis genome at the The Materials Genome Initiative Grand Challenges Summit in Rockville, Maryland.
Emmanuel Haldoupis has joined the group as a postdoctoral associate.
Welcome, Emmanuel!
Bess Vlaisavljevich defended her PhD thesis on “Quantum Chemical Studies of Actinides and Lanthanides: From Small Molecules to Nanoclusters.”
Congratulations, Dr. Bess! Bess will be starting as a post-doctoral fellow with Professor Berend Smit at the University of California, Berkeley in July.
