Guy Charles Lloyd-Jones FRS[2] (born 17 May 1966) is a British chemist. He is a professor of chemistry at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.[3] His research is largely concerned with the determination of organometallic reaction mechanisms, especially those of palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.[4][5][6]
Biography
Lloyd-Jones received a Bachelor of Science degree from Huddersfield Polytechnic in 1989, and a DPhil from the University of Oxford in 1992.[1] He was a Royal Society Western European postdoctoral research fellow at Basel University from 1993–1995 with Professor Andreas Pfaltz. He joined the University of Bristol as a lecturer in 1996, before being promoted to reader in 2000, professor in 2003 and Head of Organic and Biological Chemistry in 2012.[7][8] Lloyd-Jones is currently editor-in-chief of the Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical.[9]
Lloyd-Jones's work has been recognised by awards such as the RSC's Hickinbottom Fellowship (2000),[10] the German Chemical Society's Liebig Lectureship (2003),[11] the RSC Corday–Morgan Medal (2003),[12] the RSC Organic Reaction Mechanisms Prize (2007), the GSK/AZ/Pfizer/Syngenta UK Prize for Process Chemistry Research (2010), a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award (2008-2013) and the RSC Physical Organic Chemistry Medal and Ingold Lectureship (2013). Professor Lloyd-Jones was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2013.[13]
