Elles Group Highlights

Robert Castaneda joins the group for undergraduate research. Welcome, Rob!
Our paper with the Blakemore group "Ultrafast spectroscopy of [Mn(CO)3] complexes: Tuning the kinetics of light-driven CO release and solvent binding" is accepted for publication in Inorganic Chemistry.
Matt Barclay successfully defends his Ph.D. dissertation. Matt will start a postdoc position with Dr. Ryan Pensack in the Nanoscale Materials and Device Group at Boise State University in January. Congratulations on the great work, and good luck in Boise!
Dan, PJ, and Chris travel to the Advanced Photon Source with Wade and James from the Blakemore group for a week of beam time using TR-XAS to study reactions of Mn complexes. We are working with the AMO Physics group at ANL, where former grad student Chris Otolski is now a postdoc.
Matt's paper "A benchmark study of ground-state Raman spectra in conjugated molecules" is accepted for publication in JCTC.
Undergraduate student Jess Bair joins the group to begin a new research project. Welcome, Jess!
