Keywords: Homogeneous/heterogeneous catalysis Olefin oligomerisation Organophosphorus chemistry Gas-to-liquids Carbonylation Expertise: Phil Dyer undertakes research broadly spanning a number of areas of synthetic inorganic chemistry including organometallic, organophosphorus and co-ordination chemistry, as well as homo- and hetero-geneous catalysis. His group’s work focuses on the preparation and characterisation of molecular transition metal complexes and functionalised organic and heteroatom-containing ligands. Additionally, his group have interests in…
Keywords: Heterogeneous catalyst In situ spectroscopy Raman X-ray absorption spectroscopy Fischer-Tropsch Expertise: My research focusses on in situ characterization of solid catalysts and controlled synthesis of nanoparticle catalysts as model systems (e.g. from colloids or organometallic precursors). Catalytic systems tackled using these approaches span a very broad range from Fischer-Tropsch and…
