The Polyzos Research Group is focussed on the discovery of catalytic reactions and the development of enabling technologies to address two frontier challenges in modern chemistry:

Firstly achieving the direct synthesis of structurally diverse and complex organic molecules with the enzyme-like efficiency observed in Nature, and secondly developing efficient, sustainable methods for molecular assembly.

Congratulations to our inaugural Amgen Scholar, Tayla on completing her research placement with our lab. Tayla smashed the 3 minute thesis presentation at Queen’s College
- Well done Tayla!!

Photoexcited Pd(II) Auxiliaries Enable Light-Induced Control in C(sp3)-H Bond Functionalisation - Chemical Science (RSC Publishing) 23/01/2020

We’re pleased that our latest contribution to palladium and visible light activated C-sp3-H halogenation is accepted in RSC Chemical Science. Congratulations to Milena, Geethi and Tyra!!!

Photoexcited Pd(II) Auxiliaries Enable Light-Induced Control in C(sp3)-H Bond Functionalisation - Chemical Science (RSC Publishing) We report a novel and general method for inert C(sp3)-H bond bromination, chlorination and iodination with alkyl halides. This protocol relies on the visible light irradiation of palladacycle intermediates derived from 8-aminoquinoline ligands, commonly used auxiliaries in C-H activation. The Pd(II)...
