معرفی
Dr. John Slattery is a researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of York. His work focuses on experimental and computational studies of ionic liquids (ILs) and organometallic catalysts, with applications in sustainable chemistry, materials science, and energy storage systems. He leads a research group exploring IL design, surface chemistry, and their use in batteries/supercapacitors, alongside organometallic catalysis mechanisms and main-group chemistry.
Research projects include collaborations on IL structure-function relationships with Heriot-Watt University and Montana State University, and outer-sphere electrophilic fluorination (OSEF) with Jason Lynam. Notable contributions involve gallium triflate catalyst speciation and fluoroalkyne synthesis. His group actively seeks PhD candidates and postdocs across synthetic, structural, and mechanistic chemistry.
- Key expertise: Ionic liquids, organometallic catalysis, gallium chemistry, fluorine chemistry
- Techniques: X-ray/neutron scattering, computational modeling, fluorination methods
- Applications: Green solvents, battery electrolytes, reaction media design
Recent work highlights include discovering novel gallium species in triflate solutions and developing structured ionic liquid crystals for Diels-Alder reactions. The group maintains strong ties to the Inorganic Chemistry theme while integrating organic, physical, and materials chemistry approaches.
