Applications are invited for a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position to work with Dr. Amit Kumar at the School of Chemistry, University of St. Andrews on the topics of organometallic chemistry, homogeneous catalysis, and polymer chemistry. This is an exciting opportunity to join a new and dynamic research group. We…
At the University of Oxford, Professor Williams and her team investigate how to make sustainable plastics. To do this, they take molecules derived from waste products, such as carbon dioxide and citrus peel, and transform them into long chains, known as polymers. These polymers can be used as the key…

Congratulations to Professor Andrew Beale who has won the Royal Society of Chemistry2022 Materials Chemistry Division mid-career Award: Peter Day Award! For the development of novel methodologies using bright light sources to identify active species in catalysis and energy storage. Professor Beale’s group studies chemical reactions and processes as they…
Congratulations to Professor Christopher Hardacre who has won the Royal Society of Chemistry 2022 Tilden Prize! For outstanding contributions to the areas of liquid and gas phase heterogeneous catalysis. Professor Hardacre’s group focuses on the use of solids as catalysts for the production of commodity and fine chemicals and the removal of…
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the world’s third most produced polymer after polyethylene and polypropylene. Until recently the formation of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), the precursor to PVC, has relied on the use of a highly toxic mercuric chloride catalyst for acetylene hydrochlorination. This exhibit summarises the successful development of a…
