This experimental unit comprises 3 group-based modules that will enable the students to have key training in equipment and computation-led experiments that represent the cutting edge of T&A in chemical synthesis. The experiments will include (a) Automated Reaction Optimisation; (b) Application of new Computational Technologies in Chemical Synthesis and (c) New Reactor Technology-Driven Synthesis co-created with industrial partners to represent real world chemical challenges. This experimental work will be supported by training in the use of Electronic Lab Notebooks.
Give students the experience of:
(a) Automated Reaction Optimisation
(b) Application of new Computational Technologies in Chemical Synthesis
(c) New Reactor Technology-Driven Synthesis
(d) Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs)
Confidence to propose potential integration of these techniques in their PhD research projects.
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.
