Research
Our Centre for Radiochemistry Research (CRR) is home to many different research groups, conducting a broad spectrum of world‑leading activities.
Our activities range from fundamental coordination and organometallic chemistry to the study of colloids, immobilised glasses and concrete materials.
Our current research areas
We facilitate and support activities across the full range of radiochemical research, both within The University of Manchester and more widely. Our principal research themes are:
- Computational chemistry
- Coordination/organometallic chemistry (aqueous and non-aqueous)
- Magnetism
- Molecular materials precursors
- Nanoparticles/colloids
- Speciation/mobility in the environment
- Spectroscopy (Raman, luminescence, fluorescence, XAS)
Our facilities
CRR's glove box facilities are enhanced by a comprehensive range of in-house structural, spectroscopic, magnetic, and computational characterisation techniques. You can learn more about our facilities on our research portal.
