Abstract
Professor Jonathan Clayden is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Bristol. He obtained his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1992 and is the author of many reputable textbooks, most notably the famous “Organic Chemistry”. From 2005 to 2011 he was editor-in-chief of the Open Access Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. As a researcher, Professor Clayden is particularly interested in molecular shape and conformation, and how this can influence chemical reactivity. He will be speaking on his research and how molecular shape matters in the outcome of chemical reactions.
