    Research Interests
    Generally we are interested in the construction and investigation of porphyrin containing supramolecular or nanotechnology systems. These range from host/guest complexes to electron transfer reactions, molecular switches and capsule formation. In addition we have begun to investigate stimuli responsive surface coatings.

    The utilisation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) as a characterisation technique is also of interest. This includes chemistry based problems as well as those in non-traditional NMR areas such as industry or medicine.  These investigations are done using the newly installed 400 and 600 MHz Bruker spectrometers.
