The latest work from my time in the Williams group is out now in ACS Catalysis!

Give it a read if you’re interested in quantitative investigations of intermetallic synergy in heteronuclear catalysis!

Have a read of our latest work where we see more structure-activity trends with cobalt/s-block metal polymerisation catalysts and get some really cool mechanistic insights from them!

Super excited to share my first co-first author paper on structure-activity relationships in heterodinuclear catalysts, online now in @angew_chem

Thanks to all those involved in the work! @franfiorentini @kateisenhardt @williamsgroupox @OxICFM

Feels very bitter-sweet to be finished! Many thanks to my examiners for the interesting discussion, to Charlotte for all her support through the years and to @OxICFM for giving me the opportunity!

If you’re interested in the role of intermetallic separation in heterodinuclear ROCOP catalysts do give this a read!

Williams Group @williamsgroupox Aug 9, 2024

Our latest work on “Synergic Catalysis: the Importance of Intermetallic Separation in Co(III)K(I) Catalysts for Ring Opening Copolymerizations” is out now in @J_A_C_S!

A huge congratulations to @franfiorentini, @kateisenhardt and Arron! 🥳🧪

My first first-author paper! Please give it a read to see some exciting structure-activity trends for our sustainable polymerisation catalysts (and it’s open access!)

Williams Group @williamsgroupox Aug 9, 2023

Our latest paper on “Understanding catalytic synergy in dinuclear polymerization catalysts for sustainable polymers” is out now in @NatureComms!

Congratulations @franfiorentini, Wilf, Arron, @ryanwfkerr and @StepliFaulkner!
