Research Interest
The research has the overall theme of new directions in transition metal chemistry, especially that of the iron group metals in the areas of hydrogen, hydride, catalytic hydrogenation and hydrogen storage for a clean energy economy. We have discovered new types of reactions involving the splitting of dihydrogen and have identified intermediates with novel, non-classical hydrogen bonds. This has lead to the discovery of new catalysts that operate by novel mechanisms where the ligand and metal work together in the catalytic cycle "metal-ligand bifunctional catalysis."
