Aluminium, Boron, Phosphorus, Silicon.
The Cowley group use synthetic chemistry to create and understand new main-group compounds for catalysis and small molecule activation.
We’re a research group based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh who prepare and study new compounds of the abundant p-block elements. We work to discover new fundamental chemistry that we use to advance catalysis and materials chemistry.
