We are interested in synthesis, reactivity and catalysis with multimetallic transition metal complexes.

At the Connal group we make polymers with applications across a multitude of industries which means we develop new materials for a range of applications.

Our group studies transition metal catalysts using both magneto-optical spectroscopy and magnetic resonance techniques.

Research in the Hicks group focuses on the reactivity of earth abundant, non-toxic metals in regards to sustainable chemical synthesis.

Our work covers organometallic chemistry with a particular focus include unsaturated ligands involving metal–carbon multiple bonding.

Our work is mainly concentrated on the interaction amongst synthesis, micro-structure and polarisation-related properties of functional materials.

The Malins group develops synthetic tools for small molecule, peptide and protein synthesis, including for applications in chemical biology and drug discovery.

The McLeod group employs a wide range of techniques to study drug metabolism.

The Norcott group research interest centres on using organic synthesis and reactivity to design new, functional molecules with important purposes.

Our research program involves the design of sequences of cycloaddition reactions, free radical reactions and transition metal-mediated reactions

Our research focuses on supramolecular chemistry – the chemistry of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding and coordination bonds. 

Our research mainly focuses on the interaction between light and chemicals and its application in materials sciences.

The group is interested in the synthesis, understanding and application of nano-to-atomic functional materials
