I am a PhD researcher in the CDT of Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Nottingham.
Joined October 2009
So fantastic to see the latest work from my PhD @ChemistryUoN highlighted in @Orgmet_ACS, with Graham Saunders, @MarrLabResearch and @MacgregorHWU. Check it out if your interested in catalysis or fluorine #fluorinefriday
New in @Orgmet_ACS: The development and mechanistic analysis of a catalytic nucleophilic fluorination reaction using a cyclometallated rhodium catalyst. Read this latest sustainable work from Patrick Morgan et al. at from @azure_wanderer

Great way to end the @eucomc conference with the @Catalysts_MDPI award for our work on transfer fluorination! Thanks to all the organisers, sponsors and presenters. Check out our work @Orgmet_ACS @CDTSusChem @ChemistryUoN
Congratulations to the awarded poster participants, including Jorge Sanz-Garrido @Catalysts_MDPI @geqo_rseq @RSEQUIMICA @UAHes @EuChemS @OEuchems including

In the last half an hour of #RSCPoster competition, I hope everyone has been able to discover fascinating new areas of research and found intriguing answers to questions unasked. #scicomm doesn’t end at 12, if you want to discuss things further #RSCCat #RSCInorg #chemtwitter
So commences the great #RSCPoster celebration of 2021. Check out our work @CDTSusChem on a fluorine transfer reaction, where we begin the process of harnessing organic fluorine for synthetic transformations, a first step in realising a circular fluorine economy! #RSCCat #RSCInorg

@makoto_B @CDTSusChem I am currently writing a manuscript on that exact thing, so keep your eyes peeled on this space!

@BogdosMichael @CDTSusChem Ah I see, thanks for clarifying. I have never spiked the reaction with a different fluoroarene complex or organic, but that would be intriguing as I am attempting to activated fluoroarenes with similar systems. That gives me a new thing to attempt in the lab today!

@BogdosMichael @CDTSusChem And would you be able to expand on what you mean by observing the reactivity intermolecularly?

@BogdosMichael @CDTSusChem Thanks for your question. Indeed it is, when we attempted to do the same with the non-fluorinated analogue no reactivity was observed. The key is the nucleophilic nature of the distal fluorine coupled with the electrophile being present to attract the fluorine.

@frikkiemalan @Orgmet_ACS Thanks, it was very interesting to work through and discover things throughout the project. The C-F bond activation and transfer was great to work on

@GriceChemistry @CDTSusChem I haven’t made the Cp analogue of the complexes, but it would be intriguing to see differences in reactivity that occurs. The reaction rate is a bit tricky to measure due to the heterogeneous nature of the mixture, but I could imagine some form of reaction monitoring with F MMR

@GriceChemistry @CDTSusChem Hi Kyle, thanks for the question. Yes, in the formation of the active complex, 1, Ag2O abstracts chloride, which increases the acidity of the Cp* proton, and this methyl group then deprotonates with Ag2O. A concerted 1,4-addition occurs forming the cyclonetallated complex

@marcuswdrover @Ringenberg @dfg_public It is very handy. I had previously been working with KBr press, but that is very difficult to move in and out of the glovebox

Receiving the Faraday Division Award for my poster of transfer fluorination closes an insightful and thought provoking conference! And amazing job by the organisers and RSC events team for putting together this virtual conference. #chemtwitter #RealTimeChem #FDcatalysis
That brings to a close another amazing Faraday meeting #FDcatalysis Thank you to all Committee members, speakers and delegates! Congratulations to our poster prize winners: Patrick Morgan @azure_wanderer Takashi Lawson @Cambridge_Uni and Sophie van Vreeswijk @SophieVreeswijk 🖼️
