Research groups
A comprehensive overview of academic research, members and projects.
The Chilton group studies magnetic molecules for MRI contrast agents, quantum information and molecular data storage
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.
Our research is focused on developing materials and technologies for energy storage in batteries and related devices.
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.
The Huber group develops innovative tools to determine the 3D structure of biological macromolecules form sparse experimental data of different length scale.
Our research uses synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and computational chemistry to generate new molecular materials with unusual optical properties.
Our research interests lie at the interface between biology, chemistry and physics where fundamental chemistry underlies biological function.
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.
We develop chemical tools to target, manipulate and study peptides and proteins related to infectious diseases.
The Norcott group research interest centres on using organic synthesis and reactivity to design new, functional molecules with important purposes.
We use NMR spectroscopy to assess the structural changes of proteins in response to other molecules in aqueous solution, i.e. under near-physiological condition
The Preston group works on supramolecular systems in solution. We develop architectures from metal ions and organic ligands, and then explore their behaviour.
Our research program involves the design of sequences of cycloaddition reactions, free radical reactions and transition metal-mediated reactions
Our research primarily focuses on the application of advanced nanoporous materials (such as 3D metal-organic frameworks, zeolites and nanostructured carbons) to important challenges in sustainable energies and environmental technologies.
The Tricoli group research focuses on several fields of nanotechnology spacing.
Our research focuses on supramolecular chemistry – the chemistry of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding and coordination bonds.
In Xu group, our mission is to develop new electron crystallography methods for crystal structure characterisation, at the same time, improving the capability, robustness and availability of these methods. By doing so, we aim to equip chemists, biologists, and material scientists with innovative tools for ground breaking research.
The group is interested in the synthesis, understanding and application of nano-to-atomic functional materials
