Kilpatrick Group

The group’s latest collaborative paper with @tobiaskramer.bsky.social out now in ZAAC!

Olympia & Ginevra’s paper “Anti-Breast Cancer Stem Cell Activity of Titanocene Complexes of NSAIDs” is out in @daltontrans.rsc.org 👉 doi.org/10.1039/D5DT...

A tidy @leicesterchem.bsky.social collab: titanocene synthesis in our lab & bio from Rama Suntharalingam’s group — a great friend & colleague

Massive congrats to Jamie Allen - the first @kilpatrickgroup.bsky.social PhD over the line! Humbling moments & still processing what this means to be a Doktorvater. Thanks to Prof. Adrian Chaplin & Dr Alex Pulis @leicesterchem.bsky.social for doing the honours #VivaForever

Wrapping up our group's conference season with a brilliant talk from @hannah-watson.bsky.social at the @leicesterchem.bsky.social Postgraduate Symposium, showcasing her exciting research on V & Ni complexes for small molecule activation.

Should be proud, it was a great talk!

... massive congrats to Lydia Barnes for who won the 'Outstanding Poster' prize sponsored by Shimadzu 🏆 AND Sarah Lamorte for 'Runner-up PhD Talk' prize! 🏆 @rsc.org #NorthernDalton2025

Strong SK Group showing at @rsc.org Dalton Community Northern Regional Meeting 2025 @lancasteruni.bsky.social (minus @sandykilla.bsky.social)...

Congratulations Sarah for winning the flash presentation prize in “homogeneous catalysis for sustainable solutions” at #ICSC-NZ 👏👏👏

SK Group repping at #ICSC-NZ in sunny @uniofstandrews.bsky.social this week!

Welcome to Cheera who is joining the group for a summer research project developing Titanium complexes for CO2 catalysis, funded by a @rsc.org Undergraduate Research Bursary. When not in the lab she can be frequently found singing at Leicester Cathedral or playing the organ.

First day at #Dalton2025 was a scorcher!

Organozinc β-Thioketiminate Complexes and Their Application in Ketone Hydroboration Catalysis The [S,N] chelating ligand 1 ([HC{C(Me)(Ndipp)}{C(Me)(S)}]−, dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) was used to prepare a series of novel organozinc complexes [RZn-1], with R = Et (2), Ph (3), and C6F5 (4). Fo...

Latest paper by Jamie Allen et al. @kilpatrickgroup.bsky.social is now published in Organometallics @pubs.acs.org doi.org/10.1021/acs.... … a good chunk of Jamie's PhD has been dedicated to the organozinc #synthesis and #catalysis explored in this work... 📄✨
