Welcome to the Buchard Group website. We are interested in the use of renewable resources in catalysis, in particular for the synthesis of sustainable polymers. Our group is located in the Department of Chemistry at the University of York in the UK, and part of York's Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence.

2026 so far...
