Manfred Bochmann is a 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”. He was a vice-president of the RSC Dalton Division Council, an editorial board member of Dalton Transactions and the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry and a volume editor of the reference work “Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III”. From 2006 – 2009 he was Head of the School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy and 2009-2011 Head of the School of Chemistry. He is 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. This work has been supported by the EPSRC, Royal Society, British Council, European Commission, BP Chemicals, Bayer AG, and Lanxess Inc., Canada.
