Interests

Design and synthesis of metal  complexes  for applications in thermal and photolytic processes. 
Thermodynamic studies of organometallic complexes and  intermediates in catalytic reactions of small molecules. Activation of H2, CO, CH4 and O2 by metal centered radicals, and tethered bimetalloradicals for energy applications.   Metal-centered radical and organo-metal reactions for control of radical polymerizations of olefins by chain transfer catalysis and living radical polymerization.  Self assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers into nanostructured arrays for applications in solar and fuel cells.  Thermal and laser photolytic generation of nano-metal particles and polymer directed synthesis and stabilization of nanoparticles.
