Daiwa Adrian Prizes Fact Sheet Daiwa Adrian Prizes Prizes for UK-Japan Scientific Collaboration Daiwa Adrian Prizes are awarded by The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation on a triennial basis in recognition of significant scientific collaboration between British and Japanese research teams. They were established in 1992 and subsequently renamed to commemorate Lord Adrian, a founding Trustee of the Foundation, at whose initiative the Prizes were established. Since their launch, 42 Prizes totalling £485,000 have been awarded to 84 teams representing 77 different institutions, including 36 from the UK and 39 from Japan – indicating the breadth and diversity of scientific achievement by scientists in the two countries. The 2016 Daiwa Adrian Prizes will be awarded at a ceremony at the Royal Society on 15 November 2016. The Foundation wishes to express its gratitude to the Fellows of The Royal Society for their assistance in the selection process. For further information and the application form please visit http://www.dajf.org.uk/grants-awards-prizes/daiwa-adrian-prizes. The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is a UK charity, established in 1988 with a generous benefaction from Daiwa Securities Co Ltd. The Foundation’s purpose is to support closer links between Britain and Japan. It does this by: making grants available to individuals, institutions and organisations to promote links between the UK and Japan across all fields of activity awarding scholarships to young British graduates to study Japan and its language organising a year-round programme of events to increase understanding of Japan in the UK Daiwa Foundation Japan House, the London-based headquarters, acts as a centre for UK-Japan relations in Britain by offering a wide programme of seminars, exhibitions and book launches as well as meeting rooms for Japan-related activities and facilities for visiting academics. The Foundation is represented in Japan by its Tokyo Office, which provides local assistance to Daiwa Scholars and administers grant applications from Japan. It also handles general enquiries, and forms part of the network of organisations supporting links between the UK and Japan.

With the revelations afforded by this discipline, however, came a tendency in some quarters towards a reductionist viewpoint of science: that chemistry was merely physics applied on a larger scale. Similarly, biology was considered by some to be be merely “scaled-up” chemistry, and psychology was simply a consequence of the rules governing biology, applied on the scale of an organism. Such a simplistic argument ignores the concept of emergent phenomena.

  • Electronic Supporting Information Pressure-Induced Chemistry for The
    Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for Journal of Materials Chemistry A. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2017 Electronic Supporting Information Pressure-induced chemistry for the 2D to 3D transformation of zeolites Michal Mazur,* Angel M. Arévalo-López, Paul S. Wheatley, Giulia P. M. Bignami, Sharon E. Ashbrook, Ángel Morales-García, Petr Nachtigall, J. Paul Attfield, Jiři Čejka, and Russell E. Morris Abstract: ADOR, an unconventional synthesis strategy based on a four-step mechanism: assembly, disassembly, organization, and reassembly, has opened new possibilities in zeolite chemistry. The ADOR approach led to discovery of IPC family of materials with tuneable porosity. Here we present the first pressure-induced ADOR trans-formation of the 2D zeolite precursor IPC-1P into fully crystalline 3D zeolite IPC-2 (OKO topology) using a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under pressure of 1 GPa at 200 OC. Surprisingly, the high-pressure material is of lower density (higher porosity) than the product from simply calcining the IPC-1P precursor at high temperature, which produces IPC-4 (PCR topology). The sample was characterized by PXRD, 29Si MAS NMR, SEM, and HRTEM. Theoretical calculations suggest that high pressure can lead to the preparation of other ADOR zeolites that have not yet been pre-pared. *e-mail: [email protected] Experimental Procedures MATERIALS SYNTHESIS OF ZEOLITE UTL AND THE LAYERED PRECURSOR IPC-1P For the synthesis of UTL parent zeolite the procedure from Ref. [1] was used. Reaction mixture with the following molar ratio was used to prepare parent UTL zeolite: 1.0SiO2: 0.5GeO2: 0.2ROH/Br: 37.5H2O, where ROH is the SDA: (6R,10S)-6,10-dimethyl-5-azoniaspiro[4,5]decane hydroxide.

    © 2021 Corey Frank ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF PEROVSKITES AND CORUNDUM DERIVATIVES WITH UNUSUAL MAGNETIC, ELECTRONIC, AND STRUCTURAL COUPLING By Corey Elizabeth Frank A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Chemistry Written under the direction of Professor Martha Greenblatt and approved by ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ New Brunswick, NJ January 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Design and Synthesis of Perovskites and Corundum Derivatives with Unusual Magnetic, Electronic, and Structural Coupling By Corey Elizabeth Frank Dissertation Director: Martha Greenblatt ABO3 perovskites and derivative structures are versatile materials, critical to the function of modern life, and the discovery of new perovskites is essential to developing the fields of photovoltaics, microelectronics, and telecommunication (푟 +푟 ) among others. The Goldschmidt tolerance factor (푡 = 퐴 푥 ) has been used for √2(푟퐵+푟푥) years to qualitatively predict stable perovskites; this formula predicts that with small A-cations (effective ionic radius < 0.9 Å) and B transition metal B-cations the perovskite structure will not form. With careful synthesis techniques, and the application of high pressure, this limitation can be overcome, unlocking distorted materials with interesting electronic-magnetic-structural coupling behaviors. These materials include highly distorted transition metal only double perovskites, such as Mn2CoReO6; quadruple perovskites with a square-planar coordinated A’ cation, such as La3Mn4RhO12; and even double corundum derivatives which feature face-sharing dimers of octahedrally coordinated A and B cations, such as Fe3-xInSnxO6 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5) and In2Mn1.1Sn0.9O6.
