Role
My research interests are in Main Group Organometallic Chemistry. I write occasional articles in this area and conribute to discussions in the research group of Dr M P Coles. Recent work has been on organolithium and -calcium compounds, organozinc hydrides and compounds containing Group 14- phosphorus bonds.
