The research focus of Dr McCann’s group was on the synthesis and structural characterisation of novel metal complexes and their use as catalysts for selected organic transformation. In later years, his research focus shifted to the utilisation of metal complexes as drug candidates for inhibiting the growth of both mammalian and cancer tumours and pathogenic microorganisms. Dr McCann’s contributions to the Department
over more than three decades are many and varied.
