A brief overview of our research projects is given below. Please enter the Protasiewicz Research Site for more exciting details on projects and Dr. Protasiewicz.
Inorganic, Organic, Main Group, Materials, Polymer, Catalysis, Organometallic Chemistry, and X-ray Crystallography
Our work is aimed at understanding the fundamental details of transition-metal catalyzed atom and group transfer reactions and to use this knowledge for the development of new catalytic reactions and for the construction of novel materials. Our approach involves the rational design of new reagents and ligands for achieving these goals. Our research cuts through the traditional boundaries of Organic, Inorganic, Organometallic and Main Group Chemistry. Please see group web site for details on the some specific areas listed below and new entry on Cases's NanoBook .
- Novel Materials for Molecular Electronics and Nanotechnology
- Mechanistic & Catalytic Reactions
- New Ligands for Catalysis based on meta-Terphenyls
- Oxo- and Nitrene-Transfer Reactions of Organoiodine(III) Complexes
