Mechanisms describe in a stepwise manner using theoretical methods which are required for the conversion of reactants into products. 

Our reaserch group have successfully designed drug-like molecules that were later developed into marketed drugs

Green chemistry, is a philosophy of chemical research and engineering that encourages the design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances.

 chemical synthesis

Nanomaterial-based catalysts are usually heterogeneous catalysts broken up into metal nanoparticles in order to speed up the catalytic process. Metal nanoparticles have a higher surface area so there is increased catalytic activity because more catalytic reactions can occur at the same time. Nanoparticle catalysts can also be easily separated and recycled with more retention of catalytic activity than their bulk counterparts.

Asymmetric catalysis, in which each molecule of chiral catalyst, by virtue of being continually regenerated, can yield many molecules of chiral product, has significant potential advantages over these older procedures.

We aim to develop complexity-inducing reactions which lead to a wide range of useful products, themselves functionalised for further chemistry.
