Congratulations to former Team Canada member Mitch Perry. His manuscript was just accepted into Dalton Transactions and will be published in a special issue on metal mediated polymerization reactions. This paper captures most of his MSc thesis on vanadium mediated radical polymerization using a whole whack-load of vanadium complexes, ensuring that Mitch never wants to work with vanadium again! Well done!
Mitch completed his MSc in the group last August and has started his PhD with Laurel Schafer at the University of British Columbia. My guess is he’s probably working on hydrosomethingation…
