Richard Eric Parry Winpenny FRSC FLSW is a British chemist and a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester.
[11] Winpenny was also the head of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester from August 2014 to April 2018, and is the director and chief scientific officer at Sci-Tron(Ltd.).
A wide range of literature has been published by Winpenny on the synthesis, structural and property analysis of heterometallic rings, polymetallic cages, single molecule magnets, and f-block and d-block metal complexes.
The results showed that the value of T2 in deuterated samples were of several orders of magnitude longer than the duration of spin manipulations which satisfies the prerequisite for the deployment of molecular nanomagnets in quantum information applications.
[16] In 2016, a research led by Winpenny, Nicholas F. Chilton and Yan‐Zhen Zheng was able to report a monometallic dysprosium complex which showed the largest effective energy barrier to magnetic relaxation of Ueff = 1815 K.[17] The research also showed the largest blocking temperature (TB) for a monometallic complex.
