Inorganic Chemistry

DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry

Course Code | 002440 

MSc by Research in Inorganic Chemistry

Course Code | 002450 

Specific areas of current interest include:

• Organometallic chemistry and catalysis
• Solid-state chemistry
• Electronic liquids
• Bio-inorganic chemistry
• Electronic structure of inorganic and organometallic molecules
• Surface chemistry
• Co-ordination and supramolecular chemistry
• Metal cluster and nanoparticle chemistry
• Molecular and biomolecular electronics
  

There is close collaboration with other departments in topics such as: surface chemistry, electronic liquids and photoelectron spectroscopy (Physical and Theoretical Chemistry); biological aspects of transition-metal chemistry; biological NMR and MD simulations (Biochemistry); energy; hydrogen storage materials and nanotechnology (Physics and Materials).

The department is also associated with the interdisciplinary Research Collaboration in Bionanotechnology.

Graduate students enjoy the excellent laboratory accommodation in both the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory and the new Chemistry Research Laboratory buildings. These are equipped with an unusually wide and impressive range of instrumental facilities covering virtually all of the experimental techniques of contemporary inorganic chemistry.
