First row transition metal complexes as transmissive filters for astronomical X-ray polarimetry

This thesis aims to develop single crystals that can act as transmissive X-ray polarising filters at K-edge energies corresponding to the first row transition metal series (M = Cu–Ti; K-edge range = 8.9–4.9 keV). Discrete square-based pyramidal co-ordination complexes have been targeted in which the...
