研究领域

Development of highly fluorescent lanthanide complexes. We are synthesising lanthanide complexes and increasing their lifetimes and quantum yields. They will be used as biological tags or as chemical sensors. Design and synthesis of ligands suitable for MRI contrast agents. We are currently synthesising reagents which will show strong switching behaviour in their relaxivity thus producing effective diagnostic reagents. We are also seeking to increase water exchange rates in complexes, leading to higher relaxivities. Synthesis of fluorescent organometallic rhenium complexes. Ligand modifications resulting in modified stereochemistry and reactivity. Underlying our applied research is the intriguing topic of how simple changes to a ligand array may greatly affect topology and prehaps reactivity. Developing catalytic systems for the oxidation of alkanes. A major goal for industry as well as academia, we are aiming to produce electrochemically fuelled systems with a transition metal catalyst.
