DESCRIPTION:The discovery of a CaTiO3 mineral by Gustav Rose in the Urals 
 in 1839\, might have been regarded as unremarkable at the time\, but since
  then the perovskite structure has proved to be extremely versatile. It is
  currently the subject of intense research by geologists\, environmental a
 nd materials scientists exploring hybrid organic-inorganic solar cell mate
 rials and alternative catalysts\, and physicists\, who look to exploit thi
 s versatility. I will present two very different examples of my research o
 n perovskites. First I will look at the possibility of a square lattice do
 uble perovskite being the host to a spin liquid state\, and second I will 
 present results pushing the flexibility of the structure in the form of a 
 family of metal organic frameworks\, investigating how the magnetism can b
 e tuned\, with the aim of crystal engineering new multiferroic materials.
