Single Molecule Toroics

lt;b>Keith Murray gained his PhD at the University of Manchester, in 1966, under David Machin's supervision. He joined Monash University in Clayton, Australia as a Senior Teaching Fellow, his research dealing with the syntheses, spectral and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes. His whole academic career has been at Monash University, climbing the ranks to a full Professorship. Presently he is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry. In recent years his research has focussed on molecular magnetic materials such as single molecule magnets and single molecule toroics. The latter topic, involving mixed d-f-block compounds, formed the basis of his Olivier Kahn Memorial Lecture to the International Conference on Molecule Based Magnets, Manchester, 2020.
