Our research program is focused on the development of new molecular inorganic electro- and photocatalysts for small molecule chemistry (e.g. H₂ production and O₂ activation) and organic transformations. The research is central to bioinorganic chemistry and critical for renewable energy and sustainable chemistry processes. Our strategy - inspired in large part by metalloenzymes - entails the development of ‘multi-cofactor’ complexes. These complexes include multiple metal sites and/or redox-active organic functionalities, and consist of inexpensive, earth-abundant metals. We are generally interested in understanding factors and devising strategies to control cooperative interactions in multinuclear complexes. The multinuclear systems exhibit unique electronic structures, and allow for a detailed understanding of how to tune and harness M···M interactions for reactivity. We employ a range of analytical methods to characterize the electronic structures, redox properties, photochemistry and reactivity of our complexes.
