There is presently a good balance between the number of research students and senior 
academic staff.

The instrumentation for molecular synthesis and characterisation is satisfactory. 
The new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) facilities are particularly welcome. It is 
important that these instruments be kept up to date. Electron paramagnetic resonance 
(EPR) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) are carried out in collaboration with Canadian 
colleagues, so the group should consider bringing these techniques in-house. A new 
Raman spectrometer is also needed.
There is a desire to acquire further analytical instrumentation, but this will 
require cooperation with other institutes.
