研究领域

Our research focuses on applying NMR spectroscopy to explore chemical problems, most often in the areas of inorganic and organometallic chemistry. Characterising reactive intermediates via photolysis of precursors while they are in the NMR spectrometer is a major feature. Increasingly, our experimental work is supported by the application of computational chemistry techniques such as DFT and ab initio methods or molecular mechanics calculations: Generation of new transition metal alkane complexes and investigations of their structure, dynamic processes and reactivity. Light activated molecules Fluxional processes in inorganic molecules. Metal hydrides. Structural studies of substituted fullerenes. Structural characterisation of synthetic molecules and natural products.
