Inorganic Chemistry
Interests in the inorganic chemistry group focus on a wide variety of areas and applications. Particular research aspects include organometallic chemistry, catalysis, novel fuels, photochemistry, bioinorganic and main group chemistry.
The strength of the Inorganic Chemistry section is based on its uniquely multidisciplinary and highly collaborative research. This approach facilitates the development of solutions to current challenges in chemistry, including those associated with resource efficiency, net zero and the circular economy.
Our main areas of interest include organometallic catalysis (Duckett, Lynam, Slattery, Weller), metalloenzymes (Duhme-Klair, Parkin, Walton), photocatalysis (Douthwaite, Duckett, Duhme-Klair, Lynam, Wilkinson), electrocatalysis (Douthwaite, Parkin) and novel solvents (Slattery). Spectroscopic and analytical measurements provide the molecular-level information essential for reaction optimisation and tailoring towards specific applications. Our research is supported by a wide range of experimental techniques and engagement with national and international research facilities.
The Inorganic Chemistry Section aligns with the University of York’s Research themes Environmental Sustainability and Resilience, Technologies for the Future and Health and Wellbeing.
