Organic chemistry research group
The group reflects the two main York themes of synthetic and physical organic chemistry.
Areas of interest
The specific areas of interest include:
- complex natural product synthesis (Dr Paul Clarke)
- advanced synthetic chemistry, catalysis and mechanism (Professor Ian Fairlamb)
- asymmetric synthesis (Professor Peter O'Brien)
- synthetic methodology and bioactive natural product synthesis (Professor Richard Taylor)
- radical chemistry (Dr Andrew Parsons)
- bio-organic chemistry (Dr Anne Routledge)
- application of EPR to nanochemistry (Dr Victor Chechik)
- nanomaterials, dendrimer and supramolecular chemistry (Professor David Smith)
The organic group has strong collaborative links with other interdisciplinary areas of activity in York including clean synthesis, materials, biological chemistry and biology There are also numerous external collaborations both academic and industrial.
