    　More details

    Language：English   Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)  

    We report the first example of a μ-η1:η1-N2 dinuclear RuII complex with a polyamine ligand and elucidate the structure by means of X-ray analysis. The N=N stretching vibration has been observed at 1994 cm-1 by Raman spectroscopy, which is the lowest value of all the known N2-coordinated RuII complexes. This low value strongly suggests the N=N bond is primed for activation.

    My educational chemistry YouTube channel, Three Twentysix, now has over 870 subscribers, over 24,000 views in total. One of my videos has nearly 5000 views, with five videos getting over 1000 views. My channel reaches over 50 countries, with many viewers in countries with low Human Development Index, such as India, Phillipines, South Africa and Vietnam. I took four students for a summer project investigating, videoing and publishing videos on the chemistry of crystals. The students learned many aspects of project planning, practical and theoretical chemistry as they produced final videos for this project. One of the videos is my most successful so far, with nearly 5000 views on YouTube.Their work earned them each a course credit.

    Everyone’s familiar with YouTube, and more than a few of us have had a go at uploading something. But, like a swan gliding along with its feet furiously paddling under the surface, what’s going on behind the scenes of successful videos? How do some seemingly simple videos get thousands of views while others get next to nothing? I’ll share what I’ve learned in climbing from zero to over 22 000 subscribers, and what’s still left to do.

  • The Pros and Cons and More Cons of Teaching on YouTube. I explain the uses and difficulties of using YouTube as a platform for education and science outreach to a live online audience, recorded and uploaded to YouTube: https://youtu.be/xEJRQqE2Ack?si=uayIHm2deOwCNpIG

    Type：Lecture

    Despite its many problems, YouTube has become a useful educational tool, with videos explaining almost any topic you can choose. For educators, YouTube has the potential to reach an international audience and provide quality tuition to anyone with an internet connection, anywhere, at any time. However, the sheer number of videos on YouTube mean that it is far more likely videos will disappear with a disappointing number of views, no matter how well taught they are. This talk will discuss the many difficulties of using YouTube as an educational medium but show how, with some research, thought, and creativity, it can be used to reach out across the world.
