Alan K. Brisdon is a British chemist and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester. His research in general is based on Fluorine, including on HCFCs, fluorine-containing organometallic systems, fluorophosphines and fluorine-containing materials, such as ionic liquids and fluorographenes.

Brisdon is the current Director of Teaching and Learning at Apart from research and lecturing in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester. He also is a highly regarded member of the Fluorine Groups in the Royal Society of Chemistry as well as the American Chemical Society and is also part of the editorial board in the Journal of Fluorine Chemistry.
In 2014, Brisdon also participated in a research which showed how the use of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as solvent would be able to improve the efficiency of gold catalyzed A3-reactions. The research also showed that the rate of the reaction can be accelerated by the use of a microwave reactor.
In 2001, Brisdon also reported on the synthesis of new fluorovinyl-containing organometallic complexes and fluorovinyl-containing phosphine ligands of the type RnP(CX=CF2)3-n(n =1, 2; X = Cl, F) and their complexes. The research showed how HFC-134a and HCFC-133a with two equivalents of butyllithium can form fluorovinyllithium reagents (CF2=CFLi and CF2=CClLi). These reagents were then used to synthesize these new novel fluorovinyl-containing transition metal and main-group compounds.
