Lee Brammer

Professor Lee Brammer is affiliated with the University of Sheffield as the Professor of Inorganic and Solid State Chemistry in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. His research spans inorganic supramolecular chemistry, porous coordination frameworks, and solid-state reactions, with a focus on leveraging halogen bonds, hydrogen bonds, and coordination chemistry to design functional materials.

• Education: BSc (University of Bristol, 1983), PhD (University of Bristol, 1987).
• Research Interests: Supramolecular assembly, halogen/hydrogen bonding, MOFs, and reactions in molecular crystals.
• Key Articles: Recent work on spin-crossover materials, flexible MOFs, and σ-hole interactions demonstrates expertise in materials design and structural transformations.
• Awards: President of the British Crystallographic Association (2015-2018).
• Teaching: Offers advanced courses in Crystal Engineering and Diffraction Techniques.

His group utilizes single-crystal X-ray diffraction, synchrotron radiation, and computational methods to characterize materials. Collaborations include studies on catalysis and gas sorption.
