Our laboratory is engaged in a bit of synthetic organic chemistry as well as a good deal of synthetic inorganic chemistry. We seek to make contributions to two areas:

1) Study the coordination chemistry of Mesoionic N-heterocyclic carbene pincer ligands towards first row transition metals.

​

2) Develop dual-pocket N-Heterocyclic carbene ligands to provide bimetallic complexes for use in the activation of small molecules (O2, N2 CO, CO2).
