Personal profile
Research interests
My reseach interests are centred around the molecular inorganic chemistry and the development of new chemical reactions, particularly those involving light and/or main group elements.
Specific, current areas of research include:
- Isolation of reactive radical intermediates for the study of photoredox catalysis
- Molecular methods for the transformation of N2
- The development of 'transition metal-like' reactivity using main group elements
- The chemistry of elemental phosphorus (and industrially-relevant phosphorus-containing compounds)
More details can be found on the Scott group webpage.
Willing to supervise doctoral students
I am always keen to take on new PhD students. If you are interested, please get in contact.
