Overview

The McGonigal Group investigates dynamic process in organic functional materials by exploiting our expertise in stabilised, highly substituted aromatic carbocations and supramolecular chemistry. Students in the group are exposed to a wide range of techniques in organic synthesis, advanced spectroscopy, organometallics, electrochemistry, and DFT modeling.
