Research interests
Although research in the Hill group is rooted in molecular organometallic chemistry, our interests are somewhat broader and span from the discovery of environmentally benign and atom-efficient catalysts to the development of precursors for nanoparticle synthesis or chemical vapour deposition.
Current research projects include
- Catalysis with alkaline earth complexes (polymer and molecular chemistry)
- ‘Subvalent’ and multiply bonded main group species
- Catenated and ‘sigma delocalised’ group 13- and group 14-based electronic materials
- Organolanthanide (stereospecific) catalysis (polymer and molecular chemistry)
- Precursors for chemical vapour deposition and nanomaterials
