I18-Microfocus Spectroscopy	Controlled fabrication of osmium nanocrystals by electron, laser and microwave irradiation and characterisation by microfocus X-ray absorption spectroscopy Anais Pitto-barry , Kalotina Geraki , Michael D. Horbury , Vasilios G. Stavros , J. Frederick W. Mosselmans , Richard I. Walton , Peter J. Sadler , Nicolas P. E. Barry Chem. Commun. 115 DOI: 10.1039/C7CC07133G Diamond Proposal Number(s): [11314] Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: Osmium nanocrystals can be fabricated by electron (3–50 nm, formed by atom migration), 785–815 nm laser (20–50 nm, in micelle islands), and microwave (ca. 1 nm in arrays, >100 mg scale) irradiation of a polymer-encapsulated OsII carborane; microfocus X-ray absorption studies at the Os LIII-edge show differences between the three preparation methods, suggesting that the electron-beam irradiated materials have a significant support interaction and/or surface oxidation, while the laser and microwave samples are more like metallic osmium.

B21-High Throughput SAXS	The Copolymer Blending Method: A New Approach for Targeted Assembly of Micellar Nanoparticles Daniel B. Wright , Joseph P. Patterson , Anaïs Pitto-barry , Annhelen Lu , Nigel Kirby , Nathan C. Gianneschi , Christophe Chassenieux , Olivier Colombani , Rachel K. O’reilly Macromolecules 48 (18), 6516 - 6522 DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.5b01426 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [11120] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: Polymer self-assembly in solution is a simple strategy for the preparation of elegant yet complex nanomaterials. However, exhaustive synthesis of the copolymer synthons is often required to access specific assemblies. In this work we show that the blending of just two diblock copolymers with identical block lengths but varying hydrophobic monomer incorporations can be used to access a range of assemblies of intermediate hydrophobic composition. Indeed, the nanostructures produced from blending are identical to those formed with the directly synthesized copolymer of the same composition. This new approach presents researchers with a more efficient and accessible methodology to access precision self-assembled nanostructures, and we highlight its potential by applying it to a demonstrator catalytically active system.
