Magnetic Resonance

Our main focus is finding ways to extend the timescale over which magnetic resonance can be made.

Organic Chemistry, Synthesis, Catalysis

We develop environmentally sustainable approaches to chemical manufacture that minimise chemical waste, improve product velocity and reduce the need to isolate intermediates.

Research outputs

The endofullerene HF@C₆₀: Inelastic neutron scattering spectra from quantum simulations and experiment, validity of the selection rule and symmetry breaking
