Natalia Gloriozova wins Poster Award at ECSSC-17

The 17^th European Conference on Solid State Chemistry (ECSSC) took place at the Université de Lille in northern France on September 1-4, 2019. This conference is dedicated to all aspects of the synthesis, design and evolution of solid functional materials with extended structures and interesting chemical or physical properties. During the conference, more than 220 participants presented 8 plenary and keynote lectures, 8 invited lectures, and 49 oral presentations, as well as 126 posters. Among the latter, judges selected the two best posters, based on the level of research, quality of the poster, and clarity of the presentation.

We are very pleased to announce that IMPRS-CPQM student Natalia Gloriozova from the department of Chemical Metals Science at MPI CPfS was awarded the best poster prize for the her work on Cationic structures in nitridochromates Ca₆[CrN₃]N₂, Ca₄[CrN₃]N, and LiCa₉[CrN₃]₂N₃. This poster presented the discovery and characterization of three new alkaline-earth rich nitridochromate phases employing innovative synthetic routes in collaboration with P. Höhn, M. Bobnar and Yu. Grin. We congratulate Natalia on her success.
