Stereoselective organo-metal catalysis for the synthesis of small rings
The ability of chemists to invent new transformations is at heart of our modern society, as novel chemical methods to forge bonds with increased precision and selectivity enable more efficient preparation of materials, medicines, agrochemicals and fine chemicals. Read more
[2 PhD scholarships in Electrosynthesis / Supra-PhotoRedox Chem with industrial placements] - Electrochemical fluorination with AstraZeneca / Supramolecular control of selectivity in HAT catalysis with GSK
About the Projects. Electrochemical fluorination in Collaboration with AstraZeneca (Dr Kevin Lam / Dr Xacobe Cambeiro). Organofluorine compounds display unique physical, chemical and biological properties compared to their hydrogenated analogues. Read more
Organic Synthesis applied to Medicinal Chemistry and Renewables Science
It remains important and industrially relevant to develop core skills in organic synthesis. This project will led to expertise in retrosynthesis, reaction design, practical organic chemistry, compound purification methods and product analysis including high level NMR methods. Read more
Geological Fate and Impact of Isosaccharinic acid (Geo-FISA)
About the Project. The nuclear fuel cycle has generated higher-level radioactive wastes that will be disposed of in a deep geological facility (GDF) that will provide multiple barriers to the migration of radionuclides to the surface over prolonged timescales (tens of thousands of years). Read more
