I’m honored to step into the role of Associate Vice-President, Innovation, Partnerships & Entrepreneurship at @uOttawa. Excited for what’s ahead! linkedin.com/posts/uottawa-…
🔓#OpenAccess #radicalbridgingligands Check out recent research Exploring the substitution effect on the magnetic coupling of tetrazinyl-bridged Ln2 single-molecule magnets by Niki Mavragani, Muralee Murugesu et al. @uOttawa 🔗doi.org/10.1039/D4QI02…
When senior members of the Murugesu group take the lead in training new members on how to maintain the lab instruments, it’s a proud moment for a supervisor. Mask on? Oh, just the dirty job of cleaning the dusty tip seal filters. @InnovationCA instruments are well taken care of!

A heartfelt thanks to @NSERC_CRSNG and the research community for their generous support of the Murugesu Group's work through the NSERC DG grant. Your support drives innovation and discovery! Proud to conduct research @uottawa and 🇨🇦. #researchmatters

Read the work behind this week's back cover by Fernando Aparecido Sigoli, @m_murugesu & co on the impact of β-diketonate terminal ligands on slow magnetic relaxation and luminescence thermometry in DyIII complexes💡 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… 📍 @unicampoficial @uOttawa
Check out the effect of substitution on the tetrazine ring on magnetic coupling in molecular magnets- Critical for design principals for SMMs. Now open access. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

How does substituting the tetrazinyl radical bridge affect the Ln–rad magnetic coupling in radical-bridged Ln₂ SMMs? Check out our latest research, now published @InorgChemFront! 🥳 🙏 to all who contributed! @AlexKitos @m_murugesu @uOttawaScience pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Very excited to present two new dysprosium(III) complexes containing amide ligands 😊😎. Both are single-molecule magnets where one shows remarkable open magnetic hysteresis loops up to 19 K 🥳🤩. Published in @J_A_C_S. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… @MSUChem @GroupDemir @GroupOdom
An important collaborative article came out of a JSPS fellowship. 🙏 to the wonderful hosts and the great colleagues. Diplatinum Single‐Molecular Photocatalyst Capable of Driving Hydrogen Production from Water via Singlet‐to‐Triplet Transitions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
Ever wondered about the origins of Single-Molecule Magnet research? Check out our latest article in @NatureChemistry! Mn12 and the dawn of single-molecule magnets. 👏 @niki_mavragani @uOttawaScience @NSERC_CRSNG nature.com/articles/s4155…
