Research Overview |
The growing drive to develop more economical and sustainable practices has become a major influence on modern chemists. However, many commercial processes continue to utilize catalysts based on platinum group metals, which are expensive, toxic, and of increasingly limited supply. In our group, we use inorganic and organometallic chemistry, supported by theoretical computations, to develop inexpensive and sustainable catalysts for various chemical transformations. Our research interests can be separated into two main fields. |
