Research in the School of Chemistry covers the broad areas of molecular devices, bioactive molecules, and chemical and biological catalysis. These research areas are supported by expertise in NMR, EPR, spectroscopy, organometallic chemistry, surface chemistry, neutron scattering, chemometrics, and organic synthesis. The School of Chemistry teaches about 1000 undergraduate students each semester. Our new teaching laboratories are state of the art and many courses include research projects with access to world–class facilities. Postgraduate research and coursework programs allow graduates to extend their knowledge and skills under the guidance of leading researchers. The School of Chemistry shares the Chemical Sciences building with the UNSW Analytical Centre giving easy access to high–end instrumentation including NMR, EPR, electron microscopy, surface analysis, and mass spectrometry. The School is also well equipped for UV/Vis/IR spectroscopy, chromatography, and synthesis. Sydney is renowned for its beaches, Opera House, harbour, and sporting events. Bondi beach is a few kilometres from UNSW; Coogee beach is even closer. Entertainment venues, Chinatown, museums, and galleries in the city centre are 20 minutes from campus. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, have many bush walks and climbing venues.

Ph.D. Scholarship - Synthetic and NMR Spectroscopic Studies of Organometallic Bond Activation

Up to 2 Ph.D. scholarships for 3 years are available in the area of organometallic chemistry/NMR spectroscopy. The project will involve two areas: First, detailed studies of the mechanisms of CH activation of alkanes and analogous E-H bonds (E = B, Si, H etc.) by organometallic species and their subsequent functionalization. Second, processes involving the photochemical production and reactions of transient species containing metal-element multiple bonds will be studied. More details on the postgraduate scholarships page.
