Inorganic Chemistry: University of Oxford

Research Programmes

• DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry
• MSc by Research in Inorganic Chemistry

Specific areas of current interest include:

• Organometallic chemistry and catalysis
• Solid-state chemistry
• Electronic liquids
• Bio-inorganic chemistry
• Electronic structure of inorganic and organometallic molecules
• Surface chemistry
• Coordination and supermolecular chemistry
• Metal cluster and nanoparticle chemistry
• Molecular and biomolecular electronics

There is close collaboration with other departments in topics such as: surface chemistry, electronic liquids and photoelectron spectroscopy (Physical and Theoretical Chemistry); biological aspects of transition-metal chemistry; biological NMR and MD simulations (Biochemistry); hydrogen storage materials and nanotechnology (Physics and Materials). The department is also associated with the interdisciplinary Research Collaboration in Bionanotechnology.

Entry Requirements

Minimum of an upper second-class or a first-class undergraduate degree or equivalent in a subject with a sufficient overlap with the proposed research. Normally this will be a Chemistry degree, but degrees in other Physical Sciences or in a Biological Science are often suitable.
