Professor Nicholas Long CChem FRSC
I want to make a difference. That may be via mentorship and inspiration to the undergraduates, postgraduates and research fellows that I teach and supervise, or via my research findings having an impact on academia, industry, or society and the general public.
Central to Professor Long’s research is the design and synthesis of new chemical bonds or combinations of elements. The thrill of making new molecules and establishing their potential application is what motivates Nick and his research group. For example, a new molecule could be used as an industrial catalyst, a conducting or switchable material, or as a biomedical imaging probe. In this latter area, his group are developing less toxic MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) contrast agents, as well as fluorescent and radiochemical probes that can provide better and earlier disease diagnosis. They are also working on metal-containing nanomaterials that target cancerous tumours. Their solar cell work is aimed at producing cheap, stable and flexible solar devices, with excellent efficiencies.
