Biography
InterestsOur group strives to develop new homogeneous transition metal catalysts for use in synthetic chemistry. Catalysis is a crucial area of study, with applications in fine chemicals manufacturing, the petrochemical industry, as well as the drug discovery efforts of medicinal chemistry laboratories.
The core of our research program is organometallic chemistry, an interdisciplinary area that unites the structural diversity of organic molecules with the remarkable reactivity and properties of inorganic compounds. Students have the opportunity to work in many areas, including inorganic synthesis and organic reaction methodology. Select PublicationsWeerasiri, K.C.; Chen, D.; Wozniak, D.I.; Dobereiner, G.E.
