We are an inorganic chemistry research group led by Dr Alexander (Sandy) Kilpatrick at the University of Leicester, UK.

Kilpatrick research group at the University of Leicester, March 2024

Our research combines different fields of chemistry including organometallic synthesis, electrochemistry and catalysis. Our work focuses on the development of sustainable catalyst systems for the conversion of environmentally relevant small molecules. We are particularly interested in the synthesis of multinuclear transition metal complexes inspired by metalloenzymes in biology.

If you would like to know more or are interested in joining the group, then please don't hesitate to get in contact.
