Acknowledgments I would like to thank Jonathan for his guidance, support, barbeques and boat trips over the last three-and-a-bit years. I am also very grateful to Andy Payne who supervised me during my period of work at GSK Harlow, and to Bob and Phyllis who made my stay there much more enjoyable than it would otherwise have been. I am of course thankful to the technical staff at the University of Manchester, especially Val, Gareth and Rohana; and to Phil and John at GSK. Madeleine and Jim have always been very helpful when I’ve been stuck squinting at the crystal structures they always seem able to solve. Johanna and Eric also deserve a special mention for their assistance with everything EPR, and for their willingness to let me taint their machines with organic compounds. I have enjoyed spending the past years with members of the Clayden group both inside and outside of lab. Particular thanks to Betson, Wes, and Tim for proof reading and generally being great friends and lab-neighbours. I am also incredibly grateful to Nuria, Beckii, Olga and James for the conversations, and over the past months for allowing me to experiment vicariously. Cousin It for being generally great, Heloise for being a wonderful hostess, Lluis for general mischief in Japan, Worral for his company through the night-time hours (both lab and pub), Vas for being Vas, and Simon for his enthusiastic morning greetings and Glasto. I am been grateful to everyone else for contributing to a friendly atmosphere, in particular Abby, Riz, Tom, Damo, Steve, James, Jordi, Boris, Pickworth, and Uli Uli Uli Uli. I have been very fortunate to have had a string of insightful mentors over the years; to them I am indebted for the care and time they have taken in educating me and my peers. I am grateful to my parents for always supporting me in everything I do, and being there to offer advice or support whenever I need it. Special thanks of course go to Giudi, for far too many reasons to list. Her support, tolerance and love over the last three years have helped me to get through the lows and embrace the highs. – LLFF 9
