• With Prof. Ian Hillier and Many Others
  
  My main interest is the 'Application of Theory to Chemical Problems'
  
  Below is given part of the Potential Energy Surface of NS and ONO (in Collaboration with Prof. Hillier, Prof. Pilling and others):
  Please note the energy units are kJ/mol
  
  
• Furan as a Diene in a Diels-Alder Reaction (with Prof. Hillier, Prof. Percy and others)
  SnCl4 is acting as a catalyst attached to a complex alkene
  
  
• Long Range van der Waals Complexes (with Prof. Hillier, Dr. Claudio Morgado, Prof. Clayden, Dr. Burton and Xiao Shan)
  A correction term is added to DFT theory to enable it to describe van der Waals interactions:
  An example of pi-pi interaction (i.e. pi stacking) is given below.
