We are investigating the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of new inorganic and organometallic molecules and materials. Organotransition Metal Chemistry .
Organometallic chemistry is one of the most active areas of modern chemical research.
We are particularly interested in complexes of small, all-carbon ligands. Fullerene Chemistry . We are interested in several aspects of these new materials. A HPLC method developed in collaboration with Prof. Meier allows us to separate and purify significant quantities of fullerenes and their derivatives. We are developing new fulleride salts with metal-complex cations.
