The key synthetic step using Ir was published after I graduated (and left Chemistry...) way to make me feel old :) I'm very impressed by the level of chemistry demonstrated by a 17 year old. During my time as a chemistry student this level of project and synthesis probably could have been included as a chunk of a master's thesis. Did she perform all the synthesis herself? That takes a decent amount of experimental skill and more importantly what lab did she do all of this in? Any uni ought to be delighted to get a precocious talent like this!
