Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) underlies myriad phenomena in chemistry and physics. Arbitrary manipulation of spin-orbit coupling would enable precise control over such parameters as magnetic anisotropy, the sensitivity of quantum sensors, and even the selectivity of certain catalytic processes. Herein, I describe my efforts directed towards utilizing SOC as a handle...
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a powerful phenomenon that dictates the functional properties of transition metal complexes essential for information processing, catalysis, and magnetism. Though it is relegated to lower energy scales within the orbital description of first-row transition metal complexes, SOC impacts crucial aspects of electronic structure such as promoting...
