Goicoechea, Jose M. - University of Oxford

个人简介

I am currently a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford (U.K.) where I have been since I was appointed in late 2006. To date, my research has resulted in 93 publications in leading journals (Nature, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., Chem. Commun. etc.), 81 of these as an independent academic. Several of these scientific papers have been the subject of highlights by publications such as Science, Chemical and Engineering News, Chemistry and Industry, and Angewandte Chemie. My research has also been included in chemistry textbooks (see for example, Ribas, J. R. Coordination Chemistry, 1st ed.; Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, 2008). I have presented this work at numerous seminars and conferences in the U.K., Europe, North and South America and Asia. In 2014 I was awarded an ACS Organometallics Young Investigator Fellowship and elected as a “Rising Star” at the 41st International Conference on Coordination Chemistry; and in 2018 I was the winner of the RSC Main Group Chemistry Award. I have secured over £1 million in research grant income as a principal investigator and an additional £267k as a co-investigator. My research group and I have an avid interest in the chemistry of highly reactive molecules of the main-group and transition-metal elements, with a particular focus on using such systems for the activation of small molecules such as H2, CO2, NH3 and H2O. EMPLOYMENT July 2016 to date Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Oxford Jan. 2014 to July 2016 Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Oxford Oct. 2006 to Dec. 2013 University Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry, University of Oxford Tutorial Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford Dec. 2003 to Sept. 2006 Postdoctoral Research Assistant with Professor Slavi C.

研究领域

Our research is focused on the chemistry of environmentally abundant, non-toxic main-group elements (e.g. silicon and phosphorus). This ranges from purely fundamental studies (such as the synthesis of elusive small molecules and reactive intermediates), to more applied fields. The common feature to all of our research is that it involves the synthesis of previously unknown molecules and solids. We are interested in compounds of the main-group elements in unusual oxidation states, p-block species exhibiting multiple bonds, main-group clusters and transition-metal organometallic compounds. We are particularly fascinated by molecules that defy conventional rules for bonding and that exhibit unusual reactivity.
