The major research theme in inorganic chemistry at Heriot-Watt is Inorganic Synthesis and Computation. Within this theme specific research is carried out in Main Group Cluster Chemistry, Computational Transition-Metal Chemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry. Our studies involve both fundamental work - synthesis, spectroscopy (principally NMR), X-ray diffraction and computational chemistry - as well as applied studies.

Research in the Synthesis and Properties of New Materials research group is directed towards materials with technologically useful structural, mechanical, electronic, magnetic, electrochemical and thermal properties. Our research effort spans the two major themes of solid-state chemistry and polymer chemistry.
