Biography

Andrew Hughes is Director of Education and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry.

Research Interest

Research interests focus on synthesis, characterisation and stoichiometric and catalytic reactivity studies of early transition metal coordination and organometallic complexes. The common theme that runs through much of our chemistry is the use of a number of early transition-metal amide complexes as starting materials, and exploring their reactions with a variety of different ligands, including bulky cyclopentadienyls, amidines, and other nitrogen donors, and carboranyls.
