我们研究合成具有所需功能，如生物活性，催化反应性和热电性质的分子的新方法。研究的重点是开发新的反应，催化剂和技术，以简单，有效和可持续的方式合成社会所需的分子。这项工作的重要目标是控制反应的选择性，以仅制备所需的目标化合物，并最大程度减少副产物的形成。这项研究得到有关反应如何进行的详细研究的支持，以促进从化学结构更准确地预测分子功能。
We investigate new methods to synthesise molecules with desirable functions such as biological activity, catalytic reactivity and thermoelectric properties. Research is focused on developing new reactions, catalysts and technologies to synthesise molecules required by society in a simple, efficient and sustainable manner. An important goal in this work is to control the selectivity of reactions to prepare only the desired target compound and minimise the formation of side-products. This research is supported by detailed studies into how reactions work, to facilitate more accurate prediction of molecular function from chemical structure.
