The following projects could be undertaken in the research area of Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry
Mixed-Anion Organolithium Complexes as Models for Superbases. (Doctorate)
|
|
Supervisors:
Michael Gardiner
| |
We are systematically studying mixed-anion organolithium complexes as models for superbases. The ultimate aim is to extend the understanding of structural aspects of organolithium chemistry, relate this to the more complex superbase reagents and rationalise their reactivity based on this knowledge.
|
Metal-Butadiene Complexes as Precursors to Low-Valent Chemistry. (Doctorate)
|
|
Supervisors:
Michael Gardiner
| |
We are devising alternative routes to Group 13 organometallics, M(III), that thermally decompose by two electron reduction of the metal. This will improve access to established M(I) complexes for exploitation in synthesis and materials, as well as extending the known M(I) chemistry.

Supervisors:
David McGuinness
|
In this project we aim to develop new transition metal catalysts for the selective oligomerisation of ethylene.
