We apply an interdisciplinary strategy combining material synthesis, surface science, and synthetic inorganic chemistry to generate catalytic sites on surfaces. Students working on these projects gain expertise in air-free synthesis of small molecules and organometallic complexes, spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, solution and solid-state NMR, etc.), and catalysis.
