This unit involves students undertaking two successive 6-week mini-projects in a Core Supervisor's laboratory. We have a large and diverse pool of world-class academics with expertise in a very wide range of synthetic chemistry, enabling the students to choose two mini-projects in: methodology, asymmetric synthesis, flow chemistry, photochemistry, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, mechanism, carbohydrate chemistry, iron catalysis, NMR, mechanism; synthesis, biosynthesis, supramolecular, ligand synthesis, catalysis, heterocyclic synthesis, synthesis, dynamic stereochemistry, protein chemistry, synthetic biology; AI, ML, VR, protein structure, catalysis, methodology, main group chemistry, catalysis, molecular machines, computational chemistry, data analysis, ligand design, catalysis, high-field NMR, structure prediction.
Students can perform a range of experiments in two advanced areas of synthetic chemistry, present their work at group meetings, write in the style of a scientific journal and undertake independent research. Students will also experience different research groups and supervision philosophies
Predominantly lab-based work supported by hands-on workshops on experimental techniques.
Laboratory based work written up in the form of a research paper and associated supplementary information using the templates from the Journal of American Chemical Society (JACS). These papers will then be double-marked by staff.
