Organometallics
Studies in organometallic chemistry in CCB involve the design of new transition metal complexes that display specific, targeted functionality such as electron-transfer activity, redox behavior, or variable metal-metal interactions. Such complexes can function as models for biological metal-containing sites or as industrial catalysts, as examples.
