Our work with the Kerr group on understanding the mechanism behind the Ir-based deuteration catalysts has been chosen as the inside cover of Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis. You can read about the specifics of the reaction here. Importantly, this work lays the foundation for a large number of studies where we have utilised our understanding of the […]
Ivan and Ines are doing their PhD as part of a European Initial Training Network (Marie Curie Actions) called SMARTNET (Soft Materials Advanced Training NETwork). Within the SMARTNET they collaborate with five academic and two industrial partners from UK, the Netherlands, France and Spain. The aim is to improve the training of early state researchers […]
Welcome to new PhD student Mark Allison, who joins the group under the joint supervision of John Murphy. Mark’s project will use a combination of computational theory and experimental work to assist in the development of novel organic super electron donors. We also welcome our new final year students Emma Matthews and Robbie Campbell, who will both […]
Recent work with the Percy group has been flagged up in Chemistry – A European Journal as a Hot paper. We’re proud of all of our projects and think they’re all worth while – but it’s nice to know that others agree sometimes as well. To read about the origins of the stereospecificty in vinylcyclopropane rearrangements (VCPR), follow this link… […]
