The CARSCH GROUP

Research

We merge fundamental design principles from synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry, organometallic catalysis, and chemical engineering to manipulate the electronic structures of coordinatively unsaturated metal ions in both molecular complexes and extended porous materials, toward advancing catalysis, separations, and material processability.

In particular, we are interested in designing transition metals with unusual electron counts and coordination environments to explore their propensity for new bond activations and transformations.
