Research profile
The majority of the research is in inorganic main group chemistry with a particular
focus on the synthesis and characterisation of chalcogen-nitrogen compounds. This is
fundamental in nature and mainly carried out along classical lines for preparation and
investigation of molecular species. However, their use as precursors in film formation
is one benefit. Also related applied problems such as the study of exhaust catalytic
systems and polysulfides in the oil field industry are investigated. Other applied areas
are biofuel and bioash analysis and water purification chemicals.
The inorganic analytical group develops methods to tackle challenging analytical
problems involving the determination of trace and ultra-trace elements in, for
example, ice cores and the environment. The expertise of the group is in atomic
spectroscopy and is directed towards sample preparation, which is a particular and
crucially important step in the analysis. Work is commencing on speciation of metals,
which is an intended future development.
