My research interests are in the area of designer functional transition metal and macrocyclic complexes, with a particular current focus on employing them as catalysts for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction, both homogeneous and heterogeneous (covalent and non-covalent deposition).

I’m open to joining EU Horizons research teams - please note that NZ has joined so we can be full members of bids now - in green hydrogen (especially relating to H₂ storage materials and energy storage for resilience and off-grid power, as well as providing options for decarbonising farm heavy vehicles); and in catalyst development for sustainable chemical production.

My research interests span the following areas:

Green catalysts for (a) generation of green hydrogen (C-zero fuel) from water and for (b) reduction of carbon dioxide to C-neutral fuels and commodity chemicals. Both are being studied under electrocatalytic (in collaboration with Professor Aaron Marshall, Canterbury) and photocatalytic (solar fuels, in collaboration with Professor Garry Hanan, Montreal) conditions.
Immobilisation by attachment of magnetically or catalytically interesting complexes to nanoparticles or to other surfaces (in collaboration with Professor Aaron Marshall, Canterbury).
Designer heterocycle-containing and diphenylamine-containing ligands (including macrocycles) and coordination complexes: design, synthesis, crystal structure determinations, redox and magnetic properties.
Spin crossover complexes – towards nanoswitches and memory devices. We measure magnetic data in house (and Mössbauer spectroscopy 4.6-300 K via collaboration with Associate Professor Guy Jameson).
Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs): one-pot self-assembly of soluble stable 3d-4f tetrametallic SMMs, by formation of a large organic Schiff-base macrocyclic ligands with differing coordination pockets, N₂O₂ for 3d and central O₆ for 4f, and differing ring sizes (in collaboration with Prof Annie Powell, KIT; detailed magnetic studies with Dr Rodolphe Clerac, Bordeaux).
Green polymerisation catalysts for (i) controlled polymerisation of rac-lactide (from biomass, not oil building blocks), and (ii) co-polymersiation of CO₂ with epoxide (in collaboration with Professor Charlotte Williams, Imperial College London).
Self-assembly of communicating arrays of transition metal ions – grids vs side-by-side complexes.
Functional models of the Mn4Ca cluster, the oxygen evolving complex (OEC), otherwise known as the water oxidation catalyst (WOC) of green plants (2H₂O = O₂ + 4H+ + 4e−).
Lanthanide cages as a new generation of luminescent 'probes'.
