Investigating mechanism, reactivity and catalysis in organic, supramolecular and biological chemistry
We are interested in designing and synthesising organic molecules to investigate the basis of catalysis, and to apply these principles to designing our own, artificial catalysts. Read more
Ynone trifluoroborate salts: Versatile reagents for organic synthesis
We have recently developed a new class of functionality rich intermediates based on ynone trifluoroborate salts. These compounds can be elaborated in multiple ways e.g. Read more
An asymmetric synthesis of atropisomeric functionalised intermediates
Atropisomers are stereoisomers that occur because of hindered rotation about a single bond, and this leads to two or more conformers that interconvert slowly enough to be isolated as single components. Read more
Quantifying Agglomeration Productivity Premiums Associated With Spatial Organization In Cities And Across System Of Cities
Scaling framework and models of systems of cities provide a unique approach for unifying the response of cities across a range of characteristics. Read more
A Pd-catalysed cyclisation strategy to chiral nitrogen heterocycles
We have recently devised a novel conjunctive reagent that is generated in the presence of a palladium catalyst, and demonstrated that this can be exploited in the synthesis of chiral heterocyclic products. Read more
Microporous polymers for energy and sustainability
Microporous polymers are a class of porous material made from organic building blocks possessing high surface areas and chemical stability. Read more
Novel synthesis & characterisation methods for metal-organic nanosheets
Nanomaterials are set to revolutionise every aspect of our lives from electronics to medicine. The remarkable properties shown by graphene have led to the development of a wide variety of other two-dimensional materials. Read more
Oxidative transformations of alkylboronic esters.
Building on work in the Partridge group, this project will explore new oxidative transformations of alkylboronic esters. This work is suitable for ambitious students with a strong interest organic synthesis, and will involve aspects of catalysis, organoboron chemistry, and asymmetric synthesis.. Read more
Synthesis of saturated nitrogen heterocycles and alkaloids by using organolithiums or dipolar cycloaddition chemistry
Our research group focuses on the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, especially with chiral organometallic compounds and dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Read more
Metal-organic nanosheets (MONs): Programmable 2D materials for use as sensors, catalysts, membranes and devices
Two-dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene hold enormous potential for use in advanced electronics, energy, separation and composite materials applications. Read more
The development of therapeutic peptides for cancer.
Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in women and the third in men. There were 1.8 million new diagnoses in 2018. There is a huge demand to improve conventional therapies and to discover novel ones. Read more
