Biography
Mark A. Fox is Senior Research Officer in the Department of Chemistry and Member in the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Processes.
Research Interest
Our primary area of interest is the chemistry of carboranes. Carboranes are clusters containing boron and carbon atoms with terminal or bridging hydrogens. We are principally interested in the fundamental synthetic, chemical and physical properties of these compounds. They are characterised by spectroscopic (NMR, IR, UV-vis, MS, Raman), computational (DFT) and diffraction (X-ray) methods available from the excellent departmental research facilities here.
