A collaborative paper involving the Shaughnessy and Martin Bakker groups in Chemistry and the John van Zee group in Chemical & Biological Engineering was published in the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology. The paper entitled, "Copolymerization of Transition Metal Salen Complexes and Conversion into Metal Nanoparticles Supported on Hierarchically Porous Carbon Monoliths: A One Pot Synthesis," describes the incorporation of metal salen complexes in a carbon sol-gel. Pyrolysis provides a carbon material with metal nanoparticles. |
