In turn, such foundational insight will provide the basis to inspire and facilitate necessary improvements in current iron catalytic systems to not only make them competitive with existing precious metal systems, but also to enable the development of bespoke ligands and iron catalysts that will greatly expand the scope and utility of iron catalysts in organic synthesis. The successful candidate(s) will work in the area of iron-catalysed organic transformations such as C-C and C-heteroatom bond forming reactions which offer more sustainable routes for complex chemical synthesis. However, current iron-based methods are not competitive with precious metal catalysis (Pd, Ir, Rh etc.), and the development of iron catalysts and methods with improved performance are required for practical applications, particularly in industry.
