The strength and ethos of EaStCHEM is particularly evident in the complementary instrumentation provided by both schools of chemistry resulting in the provision of exceptional state of the art facilities and instrumentation. Our Public Engagement team takes chemistry to schools and the public. EaStCHEM is the joint research school in chemistry … Each move has brought with it expansions in size and status until the department occupied the position it does now, as one of the world's leading Chemistry teaching and research establishments. Marieke Hüttenschmidt has joined us from the University of Rostock for a research project working with Massimiliano Curcio on the activation of CO2 … The development of innovative synthetic and characterisation methodologies (particularly in structural chemistry) is a key feature. EaStCHEM Research School. EaStCHEM is now recognised for excellence in both core and interdisciplinary chemistry with its wide-ranging research themes reflecting the relevance of modern chemistry in solving important global challenges and improving lives. During her Bachelor thesis she was working in the groups of Prof. Wolfram Seidel and Prof. Christian Vogel on metal complexes based on 2-deoxyribose furanose derivatives and is currently pursuing her M.Sc. [2], The teaching of Chemistry at Edinburgh began in 1713 when James Crawford was appointed to the 'Chair of Physik and Chymistry' (where 'physik' = natural science/art of medicine). She graduated from the University of Amsterdam after completing her MChem degree in ‘Molecular design synthesis and catalysis’ in 2017. He will now represent the University at National level!

Chem. Click on the subject to drill-down into a list of articles organized by journal, and then by title. The Materials Chemistry group is one of the largest materials chemistry groups in the UK. Ross J. Ellis, Peter A. Tasker, Jason B. Below, the same research outputs are grouped by subject. The school has a research staff of approximately 120 individuals, and an academic staff of over 40. In the case of CO2, this results in the formation of methanol equivalents via silylformate and silylacetal intermediates. Note: Hover over the graph to view the percentage of collaboration. EaStCHEM's world-leading research expertise impacts in key areas such as sustainability, energy, and the effective management of societal resources.

Contact details and profiles for our research staff members. The School has four major research themes as part of EaStCHEM: The Chemistry/Biology Interface area is broad, with particular strengths in the areas of protein structure and function, mechanistic enzymology, proteomics, biologically targeted synthesis, the application of high throughput and combinatorial approaches and biophysical chemistry, which focuses on the development and application of physicochemical techniques to biological systems. DFT analysis of the mechanism of CO2 reduction shows that the perrhenate anion activates the silylhydride forming a hypervalent silicate transition state such that the CO2 can directly cleave a Si-H bond.
