Eric John Logan McInnes FRSE is a British chemist and a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester. [4] His research in general is based on inorganic chemistry and magnetochemistry, specifically on molecular magnetism, EPR spectroscopy and coordination chemistry. [5]
McInnes completed his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree at University of Edinburgh in 1992 and 1995 respectively. [6] His PhD on Physico-chemical studies of co-ordination complexes of the platinum group metals was supervised by Lesley Yellowlees. [6]
After graduating, McInnes completed his postdoctoral research with David Collison and F.E. Mabbs at University of Manchester from 1995 - 1998 before moving to University of East Anglia to take up a postdoctoral research with A.K. Powell and A.J. Thomson in 1999. [4] He then moved back to University of Manchester as a Lecturer and was promoted to Chair of inorganic chemistry in 2007. [1] [4]
McInnes's research in general is based on inorganic chemistry and magnetochemistry, specifically on molecular magnetism, EPR spectroscopy and coordination chemistry. [5]
Apart from research and lecturing, McInnes was also the chair in the 50th, 51st and 52nd international meeting of the Royal Society of Chemistry ESR group. [7] [8] [9] He also was a discussant in the Keynote lecture's held at the Asian Pacific EPR Symposium and International Conference on Coordination Chemistry which was held in 2018. [10] [11] McInnes also holds an author profile in Angewandte Chemie. [1] He is also part of the Molecular Magnetism Group at University of Manchester along with Nicholas F. Chilton, Richard Winpenny, David Collison, Grigore Timco and Floriana Tuna. [12]
In 2016, McInnes confirmed the capability to use pulsed EPR spectroscopy to measure the covalency of actinide complexes in a research in collaboration with Floriana Tuna and David P. Mills at the University of Manchester. [13] Prior to this research, the extent of covalency in actinide complexes was less understood as this nature of bonding was not studied due to limited technology and methods of experimentation at the time. The use of pulsed EPR spectroscopy was able to determine the covalency of thorium(III) and Uranium(III) complexes for the first time and this paved the way to further research on the use of these complexes in the separation and recycling of nuclear waste. [14]
Inorganic chemistry deals with synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers chemical compounds that are not carbon-based, which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, as there is much overlap in the subdiscipline of organometallic chemistry. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry, including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medications, fuels, and agriculture.
Food physical chemistry is considered to be a branch of Food chemistry concerned with the study of both physical and chemical interactions in foods in terms of physical and chemical principles applied to food systems, as well as the applications of physical/chemical techniques and instrumentation for the study of foods. This field encompasses the "physiochemical principles of the reactions and conversions that occur during the manufacture, handling, and storage of foods."
