Background Information

Manfred Bochmann is the Professor of Inorganic Chemistry. He gained his Diploma Degree at Marburg University, Germany (1977), and his Ph.D. at Imperial College London, with Professor Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson (1979). After a spell in industry at ICI's Corporate Laboratory, he moved to a lectureship at UEA and became Professor of Chemistry in 1994. From 1995 -2000 he was Head of the Inorganic and Structural at the University of Leeds. He returned to UEA in April 2000. From 2000-2004 he was coordinator of the EC Research Training Network “New polyolefin materials via metal catalysed copolymerisations” (HPRN-CT2000-00004. He is an editorial board member of the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, a volume editor of the reference work “Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III”, and an Associate Editor of Organometallics.

In 2003 he was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry Medal for Organometallic Chemistry.

Professor Bochmann’s research centres broadly around synthetic organometallic and coordination chemistry directed towards homogeneous catalysis.
