Synthesis and Catalysis
Synthesis and Catalysis
Innovative molecular design and advanced synthetic methodology relevant to grand challenges in energy, health, and the sustainable use of natural resources.
David Fox
Synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry; drug discovery and development; synthetic methodology.
Adrian Chaplin - Grouping Lead
Synthetic organometallic chemistry and catalysis with a supramolecular twist. Activation of alkanes and nitrous oxide.
Mark Greenhalgh
Synthetic chemist; organocatalysis meets main group catalysis; novel catalysts; unconventional interactions; understanding mechanism.
Sebastian Pike

Peter Scott
Self-assembling molecules as antimicrobials and cancer medicines; interfacially-active polyolefin materials for recycling.
Mike Ward
Coordination and supramolecular chemistry, especially self-assembly and host-guest chemistry of metal complex cages.
Martin Wills
Asymmetric catalysis and synthetic organic chemistry methodology, with applications to medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.
