Gill Reid's Publications and Citation Metrics

Gill Reid studied Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, receiving a BSc (hons) in 1986. She remained in Edinburgh to study for a PhD, investigating the synthesis, structures and redox properties of transition metal macrocyclic complexes. In 1991, following a two year post-doctoral position, she was appointed to a lectureship in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Southampton. She was promoted to Professor in 2006. Gill is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and currently Head of the Molecular Assembly, Function and Structure research section.

Gill's research interests are mainly in the area of synthetic inorganic chemistry, including the design and synthesis of new macrocyclic and multidentate ligands involving donor atoms from Groups 15 (P, As, Sb, Bi) and 16 (S, Se, Te), and their chemistry with metal ions from across the s-, p-, d- and f-blocks. In addition to their intrinsic interest, some of these families of compounds are important in the deposition of thin film materials for electronics applications, including phase change memory (PCM) materials and semiconductors. She has several collaborative projects concerned with electrodeposition and (selective) chemical vapour deposition (CVD) in these areas. Her group is also using metal coordination complexes to develop new approaches for rapid, late-stage F-18 labelling for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents with GE Healthcare.

She is author or co-author of >230 refereed papers, as well as several invited reviews and book contributions. In addition to membership of the EPSRC College (1998-2010), Gill has served on the RSC's Dalton Council (1999-2002), the RSC UK Macrocycles and Supramolecular Group Committee (1992-2003), the RSC Committee for Professional and Continuous Development (2008-2010) and was elected to RSC Council in 2011. She is also Chair of the RSC Mid-Southern Counties Local Section.

Gill also has strong interests in chemistry education, outreach and public engagement in science, leading Chemistry's Outreach Programme between 2000 and 2010 in Southampton. She has led a number of projects in this area and received the Vice Chancellor's Award for Teaching in Chemistry in 2006 and an RSC Award for Achievement in the Promotion of Chemistry in 2007. She has been External Examiner for a number of UK University Chemistry Departments, and currently serves on the Royal Society NIF Awards Panel.

Professor Gill Reid's photo

"With our school visits, we have had a fantastic response from the pupils and teachers and lots of interesting questions. They seemed to really enjoy the hands-on elements and the workshop groups were really buzzing with enthusiasm."

Research

Research Interests

Research within the group is focussed mainly upon the preparation, characterisation and reactivity of new types of compounds through which we can obtain insight into the chemistry of these species at a molecular level. Fundamental scientific knowledge of this type is important in its own right, but evidence shows that it is also the basis for step changes in our scientific understanding and crucial to major new technological advances. In particular our work on macrocyclic systems seeks to exploit the significantly enhanced ligating properties of the ring systems to impart unusual reactivity at the coordinated guest acceptor, e.g. to develop new types of olefin polymerisation catalyst which give improved products; to probe the mechanisms of Cr-catalysed ethene oligomerisation; to identify unprecedented metal-ligand combinations (hard/soft combinations with high oxidation state early TM ions and unique families of p-block complexes).
