Research Interest
The ability of different parts of the same molecule to communicate with one another is of interest in the development of molecular devices, one-way semiconductors and probe technology. Our research has concentrated on the use of redox active molecular systems, such as ferrocene and metal carbonyl clusters to build molecules in which the redox active centres can communicate through electron transfer processes.
