Happy to share this publication that was part of the thesis work of Dr Gaurav Mitra. Another example of colloidal nanocrystals not adopting the same dopant speciation(s) as their bulk analogue! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Colloidal Synthesis of Mn2+-Doped SrTiO3 Nanocrystals: B-Site Substitution and Spin-Relaxation Dynamics
We report the colloidal hydrothermal synthesis of a unique nanocrystal (NC) system where Mn2+ ions are introduced into SrTiO3 and appear to substitute at the octahedral Ti4+ site instead of the A site...

Really proud of this work by Dr. Hyunggu Kim! We show that cation exchange of ZnS magic size clusters with Co(II) results in surface doping at low temp, which isn't a surprise. What was a surprise is that with heating we observe the conversion of surface to bulk-like Co(II). doi.org/10.1021/acs....

I’m teaching a descriptive inorganic chemistry course this semester and found the textbook does a poor job showing the variation of oxidation states for the transition metals. If you feel the same way head over to this great resource from @dvgroupumass.bsky.social. cgt.dvgroup.umasscreate.net. Free!
