Synthetic Chemistry (catalysis) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

We have 38 Synthetic Chemistry (catalysis) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

PhD in Chemistry: Microwave assisted heterogeneous catalysis

The PhD will be based within the Cardiff Catalysis Institute (CCI) (www.cf.ac.uk/cci) which is one of the leading centres for catalyst research focussed on improving the understanding of catalysis, developing new catalytic processes with industry and promoting the use of catalysis as a sustainable 21st century technology.

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

Solid-Supported Chalcogen Bonding Catalysis

A 3.5 year fully-funded PhD position is available in the group of Dr Mark Greenhalgh at the University of Warwick, in collaboration with GoldenKeys High-Tech Materials Co. Read more

Cooperative catalysis using iron-based Organometallic frustrated Lewis pairs

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) has led to major advances in the field of small molecule activation and catalysis, being considered as one of the most exciting modern-day developments in main group chemistry. Read more

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

PhD in Chemistry: Asymmetric catalysis using environmentally benign calcium complexes

Dr Ben Ward http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/38527-ward-benjamin is looking for a PhD student to work on the research project ’Asymmetric catalysis using environmentally benign calcium complexes’. Read more

A new twist on catalysis: folded oligomers with organometallic termini

A key feature of biological systems is the storage and transmission of information across multi-nanometre distances, which maintains the complex chemical networks and functions within cells. Read more

PhD Studentship: Polyoxoniobates for Catalysis in Green Chemical Processes

Award summary . 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). The studentship includes attendance at international conferences and annual placements at Mitsubishi Chemical UK, Wilton. . Read more

Bond Activation with Main Group Bimetallic Bonds

A PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr Stephanie Urwin (School of Chemistry, The University of Edinburgh; https://www.chem.ed.ac.uk/staff/academic-staff/dr-stephanie-j-urwin. Read more

Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Skeletal Rearrangements

Research in the Johnston group broadly focuses on the development of new catalytic reactions for (i) the streamlined synthesis of known small molecules or (ii) unprecedented access to novel building blocks, with potential applications in drug discovery and agrochemistry. Read more
