Paul McGonigal is Professor of Functional Organic Materials at the University of York's Department of Chemistry and an EPSRC Fellow. His research focuses on dynamic processes in organic functional materials, including fluxional carbon cages, aromatic carbocations, and supramolecular systems, employing organic synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and DFT modeling.
Key research areas include shapeshifting molecules exploring dynamic C-C bonding and stereochemistry; luminescent molecules studying overcrowded chromophores and aggregation-induced emission; aromatic cation materials investigating strained ring systems; and self-assembled soft surfaces developing lubricating polymer coatings.
His publications emphasize supramolecular chemistry, dynamic stereochemistry, high-pressure crystallography, and luminescent materials. Recent articles demonstrate consistent focus on molecular design, noncovalent interactions, and functional material applications.
