Research Interests

Metal Complex Catalyzed Oxidations of Organic Compounds:

Oxidation reactions are some of the most useful chemical transformations. The finding of efficient catalysts for the selective insertion of one oxygen atom from oxygen donors, like iodosylbenzene, dioxygen, hydrogen peroxide, alkylhydroperoxide, or sodium hypochlorite into various organic molecules, under mild conditions, remains a difficult challenge in the fields of chemical and biological catalysis.

Synthesis of Inorganic Complexes:

The synthesis of transition metal complexes with new ligand

 systems may lead to novel structures, whose chemical properties and catalytic activity will be studied.
