Ultrafast competition between CO release and spin crossover upon photoexcitation of a cyclopropenone-bipyridyl FeII complex
The photo-triggered release of carbon monoxide (CO) from a cyclopropenone-bipyridyl ligand and its iron(ii) complex was investigated using a combination of stationary and ultrafast time-resolved spect...

Great to see this collaboration with the Temps group out in @pccp.rsc.org with our contributions led by Tjorge and Marc! We report that spin-crossover competes with photodecarbonylation when an Fe-CPOne is irradiated. Thanks to @dfg.de for funding pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

23% of first-generation students said they felt like impostors, compared to just 2% of non-first-generation students. They were less likely to be invited to summer lab placements and less likely to report having family support.
