معرفی
Dr. John Martin Slattery is a Reader in Chemistry at the University of York, specializing in synthetic, structural, and mechanistic investigations of ionic liquids (ILs) and organometallic catalysts. His research spans homogeneous catalysis, alternative solvent systems, and novel electrolyte applications for energy technologies.
His group employs interdisciplinary approaches combining experimental and computational methodologies, with collaborations at Heriot-Watt University, Montana State University, and IST Lisbon. Current projects include EPSRC-funded studies on ionic liquid mixtures and European Commission-funded CCIMC research into molecular catalysis.
- PhD in Chemistry (University of Bristol, 2005)
- MSci in Chemistry (University of Nottingham, 2001)
Research interests focus on green solvents, C-F bond formation mechanisms, main-group coordination chemistry, and predictive modeling for IL design. His work bridges synthetic chemistry with quantum and physical chemistry frameworks.
Recent publications emphasize gallium-based catalyst speciation, interfacial dynamics of ionic liquids, and ligand-space engineering for catalytic efficiency. His group's experimental data is publicly archived in datasets like DL-SAXS for IL mixtures and neutral imidazole structures.
- Laurie Vergnano Award (2005)
- Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship (2006)
Slattery actively supervises postgraduate researchers and collaborates on international projects, including visiting appointments at Albert-Ludwigs Universität Freiburg and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. He contributes to the Royal Society of Chemistry Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group.
