Our research is concerned with synthetic and physical inorganic chemistry to address current scientific challenges in areas such as fundamental inorganic chemistry, medicinal inorganic chemistry, and renewable energy. We will focus on the incorporation of earth-abundant metal and highly tunable ligands to control both physical properties and chemical reactivity.

Students in the group can expect to undertake synthetic and spectroscopic investigations of air-sensitive materials. In addition, students will receive broad training in synthesis, by designing and preparing molecular complexes, and in physical methods, by investigating compounds using techniques such as spectroscopy, crystallography, and voltammetry.
