This talk will provide short vignettes across my career, which began in academic heterogeneous catalysis research, moved though pharmaceutical process R&D, and back into academia, exploring homogeneous catalysis in the origin of biological homochirality. Research across chemistry and chemical engineering positions in three different countries led me from autocatalysis (automotive)…
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…
