Background

Introduction

I graduated from the University of Warwick in 1984 with a 1st class honours degree in chemistry and stayed to carry out a PhD under the supervision of Professor Peter Moore working on the preparation and coordination chemistry of azamacrocycles. After a one year Royal Society Fellowship in the group of Dr Jean-Pierre Sauvage in Strasbourg, France I spent several years in Austin, Texas with Dr Tony Harriman at the Center for Fast Kinetics Research publishing several papers on photoactive rotaxane systems and photodynamic dyes based on merocyanine 540. In 1994 I joined the Chemistry Department at Glasgow University as a lecturer and continued studies into photoactive assemblies based on ruthenium complexes and using time-resolved resonance Raman to probe ultrafast reactions. In 2001 I joined the staff in the Department of Chemistry at 缅北禁地 and co-founded the Molecular Photonics Laboratory (MPL) and in 2011 was promoted to professor.


My main role in the MPL is concerned with the design and synthesis of multi-component supermolecules for fundamental studies in energy and/or electron transfer. A more recent aspect is applying the developed systems for photonic applications such as real-time monitoring of physical processes in nano-environments, solid-state luminescence pressure-sensitive materials, photochromic materials for data recording, and fluorescence sensors for biological imaging. The complexity of the molecular systems produced depends greatly on the problem to be addressed, but high purity and full structural characterisation are paramount.

Research Interests

Our research interests cover many different aspects of photochemistry and over the past several years a number of publications have covered the synthesis and applications of BODIPY derivatives. Other systems include expanded acridinium dyes, pyrene dimers for triplet-triplet annihilation, fluorescent viscosity probes, reactive oxygen species (ROS) detectors and porphyrin derivatives for hydrogen production. As well as these studies projects have focused on mimicking the oxygen evolving complex in photosystem II and the magnetic properties of manganese complexes.

Current Work

  • Energy transfer in molecular systems
  • Artificial enzymes
  • Fluorescent probes

Research Roles

My role is to design new molecular systems, supervise their synthesis and full characterisation and couple this to spectroscopic measurements. A project with Professor Peter Andras (Napier University) is concerned with the synthesis and testing of new neuron imaging probes. Overseas collaborators include Professor Nikolai Tkachenko (Finland), Professor Hugh Burrows (Portugal), Professor Juan Bartolome (Spain) and Drs Giamberini/Reinac (Spain).  


Postgraduate Supervision

The synthesis section of the Molecular Photonics Laboratory is currently supporting PhD and MChem students.
