Scholar-generated biography
Andrew Ashley's research focuses on developing metal-free catalytic systems for hydrogenation and hydrogen activation, particularly in the context of CO2 and N2 reduction. His work explores the use of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) and Lewis acids to enable selective and efficient chemical transformations under mild conditions. Ashley's publications highlight the design of air-stable boranes and silylium-phosphine adducts for hydrogen cleavage and the synthesis of electron-deficient boranes for electrochemical applications. His research also addresses water-tolerant catalytic protocols and the electrochemical behavior of FLPs. These studies aim to advance sustainable chemical processes by reducing reliance on metals and enhancing reactivity under ambient conditions.
