Summary on Grant Application Form
The program is a department one which is broadly based and wide ranging in organic and inorganic chemistry. Synthetic studies are directed towards developing a variety of novel useful stoichiometric and catalytic reactions of both an achiral and chiral nature. The latter involves developing new chiral auxiliaries and catalysts and detailed kinetic studies to provide a film basis for developing theories of asymmetric induction/catalysis and fluxionality/conformation, Challenging problems in natural product synthesis and the biosynthesis of selected antibodies and alkaloids, and in polyhedral borane construction will be prosecuted with all the power and precision available from 500mhz N.M.R. Other important and innovative strands of our research are concerned with factors responsible for molecular recognition, flexibility and dynamics in relation to biomolecular function and polymer science. The dramatic increase in staff and its associated broadening of research together with the larger numbers of researchers and samples, the wide range of pulse sequences and nuclei to be studied, and pressure for time intensive data collection/kinetic studies together with our current totally inadequate and obsolete Bruker AM400 make the replacement urgent.
