Dr Graeme Hogarth is a Reader in Inorganic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, King’s College London. He did both a BSc and PhD at Bristol University, the latter in diiron chemistry followed by post-docs at the University of Waterloo and Inorganic Chemistry Lab in Oxford. He was on the staff at UCL for 25 years and moved to KCL in early 2014. His research focus centres on applications of transition metal chemistry. He has co-authored ca. 300 publications and has specialist expertise in areas including oxo-imido complexes, low valent metal clusters, diiron chemistry, biomimics of [FeFe]-ases, dithiocarbamate chemistry and the use of single source precursors towards the synthesis of nanoscale metal sulfides.

The Hogarth Group focusses on the development of novel single source precursors for the synthesis of metal-sulfide nanomaterials. Aims are to (i) develop low temperature SSPs allowing access to both very small nanoparticles (quantum dots) and meta-stable phases, (ii) design SSPs that work in water (for biomedical applications) and ionic liquids (for catalysis), (iii) fully understand molecular decomposition mechanisms to enable intelligent design of new SSPs.
