stabilized by sterically demanding ligands and explore their properties and novel reactivity. The PhD research will involve the synthesis and characterization of molecular main group compounds, the design and synthesis of suitable sterically demanding ligand systems, exploratory reactivity studies of new main group compounds, and their application in synthesis and catalysis.

During your project, you will use Schlenk line and glove box techniques for compound handling and various techniques such as multinuclear NMR spectroscopy for compound characterization. The School of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews provides an excellent research infrastructure and operates a wide range of state-of-the-art characterization equipment. Computational studies may be carried out on a new HPC cluster at the University of St Andrews.
