Our inorganic research interests cover the spectrum from physical-inorganic to synthetic inorganic, organometallic, and bioinorganic chemistry. We address problems in modern medicine and biology, energy storage and consumption, materials synthesis, photo- and electrochemical homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, transition metal and main group organometallic chemistry, and solid state and surface chemistry.

Scientists use computational modeling to guide a difficult chemical synthesis
Using this new approach, researchers could develop drug compounds with unique pharmaceutical properties.
