RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Our research interests cover broad areas of organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. The central theme is catalysis. Although we approach problems in a mechanistic way, and use a variety of physical methods, we also synthesize new compounds, ranging from models for metalloenzymes through organometallics to small organic compounds.
