Daniel Scott's research is centered on molecular inorganic chemistry, with a strong emphasis on photochemistry, photocatalysis, and main group chemistry. His group explores novel reactivity patterns, particularly those mimicking transition metal behavior using earth-abundant p-block elements like phosphorus. Key research themes include the isolation of reactive radical intermediates, small molecule activation (e.g., N2, CO2), and the development of sustainable chemical transformations using light-driven processes.
The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in phosphorus chemistry and photoredox processes. Articles focus on functionalizing elemental phosphorus, studying radical intermediates in photoredox cycles, and developing low-waste synthetic methods. These works demonstrate a strong interdisciplinary approach combining synthesis, mechanistic studies, and sustainable chemistry principles.
Daniel Scott is actively involved in securing research funding and mentoring early-career researchers. He is currently accepting doctoral students and hosts postdoctoral fellows through schemes such as the Leverhulme Trust and Feodor Lynen Fellowship. His group collaborates with other research teams, including the Wolf Group at the University of Bath, and supports international PhD applicants through various scholarship programs.
The Scott Research Group operates in state-of-the-art laboratories and maintains a strong commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion, welcoming researchers from all backgrounds. The group is active on social media platforms such as Bluesky and X, disseminating research findings and recruitment opportunities.
