Professor Dr. Hanna Boström

Biography

Hanna Boström is an Assistant Professor at Stockholm University, leading the Hanna Boström research group in the Department of Chemistry. Her research focuses on crystal engineering and structure-property relationships in coordination polymers and metal-cyanide frameworks. She is particularly interested in functional coordination polymers and framework materials with switchable properties. The research employs crystallographic techniques to study fundamental aspects of materials with an eye towards practical applications. Current topics under investigation include spin crossover phenomena in Prussian blue analogues and Hofmann complexes, as well as the exploration of new polar materials. Boström's work is rooted in a deep understanding of the structural degrees of freedom that impact material properties, aiming to elucidate the synthesis-structure-property relationships. Her primary tools for research include crystallography, variable temperature and pressure studies, and magnetic measurements.
