During my undergraduate study in Peking (Beijing) University, I synthesized, structurally characterized and investigated the physical properties of some molecular magnetic materials under the direction of Prof. Shi-Wei Zhang. Some of these research activities were funded by University Student Research Scholarship on a competitive proposal basis.
The crystal structures of some of metal-oxo clusters with high magnetic spins are shown below:

Mn₁₂O₁₂(O₂CCH₃)₁₀(H₂O)₄

[Fe₁₇O₄(OH)₁₆(heidi)₈(H₂O)₁₂]³⁺
