Martyn’s research mainly involves the synthesis and chemistry of inorganic/organometallic hybrid and composite materials with interesting photofunctional, biofunctional and/or catalytic properties. A recurring theme has been organometallic inclusion and intercalation chemistry employing, for example, ordered mesoporous materials, cyclodextrins and layered double hydroxides as hosts (some examples are given on this page). To fully understand these systems it has been crucial to use multiple analysis techniques, e.g. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. These studies have been and continue to be performed in close collaboration with colleagues at CICECO and other Portuguese institutions. Other collaborative research interests include the synthesis and characterization of molecular and hybrid molybdenum oxide-based catalysts for oxidation reactions, and solid acid catalysts for biomass conversion.
