Research interest Working at the interface between molecules and materials to design new metal-oxo cluster molecules. These molecules can be considered tiny versions of well-known semiconducting materials e.g. ZnO or TiO2, however at such small sizes the structures are well defined and we can probe reactivity and mechansism using molecular characterisation techniques (e.g. NMR spectroscopy). These new cluster species have potential uses in (photo)catalysis, photoluminescent materials and as building blocks or precursors to functional materials.
