The
Ferrence Group, or Ferrites, specialize in working with
synthetic inorganic chemistry, with a focus on the Lanthanide
elements, particularly those in the divalent oxidative state,
and using X-Ray Crystallography. Our overall goal, simply
stated, is to create new molecules that will expand the frontiers of chemical
knowledge. |
