Current research interests focus on the custom design and synthesis of novel functional ligand systems, especially those derived from azamacrocyclic ligands, and their metal complexes, especially manganese, for application in a range of projects including the development of novel bleaching catalysts for application in domestic laundry, asymmetric epoxidation catalysts, and a number of biomimetic complexes. More recently we have become engaged in the development of a number of novel sensor agents, including agents for the sensing of the binding of biological analytes (with Hall, Institute of Biotechnology, University of Cambridge), Zn sensors (with Todd, Department of Chemistry, University of Sydney) and novel hydrogels for the detection of periodontal disease (with Krause, School of Engineering and Materials Science).
