Molecular Switches
Spin crossover materials exhibit two magnetic states which may be switched by changes in temperature, pressure or occasionally light. This creates a molecular switch.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. David J. Harding
Molecular Metal Clusters
Discrete metal clusters can display a variety of fascinating magnetic behaviours including single molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour. In these systems each cluster acts as a high spin molecular switch. Once again, the applications are in data storage, quantum computing and spintronic devices

Applications of Spin Crossover Materials
The ability of spin crossover complexes to act as binary switches and their clear colour changes upon crossover make them suitable for a broad range of applications including high density data storage, quantum computing and sensors.

Light harvesting Ru and Zn complexes.
We focus on the design and synthesis of mixed ligand Ru and Zn systems using microwave synthesis as an efficient way to prepare the target molecules. To achieve maximum output we are screening our target molecules by applying TD DFT calculations to the system before we actually synthesize the complexes.

Spin Crossover Nanomaterials
Nanomaterials are expected to form the basis of technological materials in the future. Nanomaterials developed from our molecular systems allow the design of truly functional devices. These nanomaterials vary in shape from spheres to cubes to rods. Thin films are also accessible and represent a promising alternative to current technology.
