PhD in Sustainable Supramolecular Structured Liquids University of York in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of York in Organic Chemistry and Synthetic Chemistry : Sustainable Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles from Bio-based Feedstocks . This collaborative project focuses on using bio-based feedstocks to build unsaturated and saturated nitrogen heterocyclic scaffolds, then decorating them into agrochemical lead-like compounds. Research themes include synthesis of heteroaromatics such as pyridines, pyrazines, pyrimidines, and quinolines, as well as terpene-derived sp3-...

The University of Birmingham is offering a PhD studentship in polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and dynamic materials. Based in the Fielden group, the project investigates how osmotic pressure can initiate polymer breakdown and enable the controlled exchange of monomers between polymers. The researcher will design reaction systems in which monomers diffuse away from parent polymers, study reversible depolymerisation under different conditions, and work with reaction media and catalysts...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in photoswitchable rotaxane receptors for the detection and remediation of chemical warfare agents . This competition-funded doctoral project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and is based in the Williams group . The research focuses on designing and synthesising photoactive mechanically interlocked molecules (rotaxanes) that can bind and release analytes in response to light. Students will investigate their potential as hig...
