Annie Colebatch

Dr Annie Colebatch is a Senior Lecturer in the Research School of Chemistry at The Australian National University. Her research spans inorganic chemistry, synthesis, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, and electrochemistry, with a focus on cooperative chemical entities and designing systems that utilise these effects. Her team develops bimetallic complexes and investigates the interplay of metals on reactivity and physical properties. Colebatch's work involves ligand design, synthesis of transition metal complexes, and analytical techniques such as NMR, UV/Vis, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. She teaches courses in green chemistry, catalysis, and organometallic chemistry.

Annie L. Colebatch is a researcher at the Australian National University with a focus on chemistry, particularly in the areas of catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, dehydropolymerization, and the synthesis of complex organometallic compounds. Her work explores the reactivity of boron and nitrogen compounds, including polyaminoboranes and phosphinocarbyne complexes. She investigates the coordination chemistry of phosphinocarbynes, the role of ligands in catalytic processes, and the synthesis of robust organic cages with selective binding properties. Her research also addresses the synthesis of deuterated boranes and the reactivity of phosphinocarbyne and phosphaisonitrile complexes, contributing to the understanding of metal-ligand interactions and their applications in catalysis.
