We have 10 Synthetic Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Birmingham
Stereoselective synthesis of mechanically chiral molecules for sensing and catalysis
Background – the stereoselective synthesis of mechanically chiral molecules. The stereoselective synthesis of chiral organic molecules is one of the core challenges in synthetic organic chemistry. Read more
Mechanochemistry and the mechanical bond – sustainable methods for the synthesis of functional rotaxanes and catenanes
Background. Molecules are mechanically bonded if they are composed of two covalent subcomponents that are threaded through one another such that they can never separate even though there is no covalent bond between them. Read more
Design of metallo coiled coil MRI contrast agents
This PhD project will develop a new class of MRI contrast agents. MRI is an essential tool for medical diagnosis. Contrast agents play a crucial role in improving the images obtained, and hence patient outcomes. Read more
Perylene diimide dyes for sensing & bioimaging
This is a PhD position joint between the University of Birmingham (UK) and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM – Berlin). Read more
Development of a DNA amplification-free assay for pathogen detection
Applications are invited for a funded PhD position in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. The School of Chemistry is keen to achieve a gender and diversity balance across the School and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. Read more
Drug metabolism - prediction, detection, and isolation
Electrosynthesis (ES) is a green methodology for preparing and interpreting drug metabolites linked to toxicology. ES describes the synthesis of chemical compounds in an electrochemical cell. Read more
Sustainable processes – reducing single use plastics in healthcare
The burden of medical plastic waste has become an increasingly pressing concern in recent years. The healthcare industry relies heavily on single-use plastic items due to their convenience and hygiene factors, but this has led to a significant environmental problem. Read more
New reaction strategies using gold catalysis
Gold catalysis represents one of the most vibrant and widely applicable fields of catalysis and in this project we will be exploring how catalyst design can be used to influence reaction pathways to gain greater control over reactivity. Read more
Degradable and sustainable polymers in the Environment
The influence of plastic pollution on our environment has been well documented, however, there remains a knowledge gap between relating to how new polymers and plastics might biodegrade. Read more
Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks Using Rotaxane-based Ligands.
The PhD project will focus on the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) using rotaxane-based ligands. In particular, the project will demonstrate how rotaxane motion affects the adsorption of guest molecules in MOFs. Read more
