The project is based on organometallics.
Organometallic complexes are complexes formed between organic groups and metal atoms.
Once this synthesis is complete, then I will be using electrochemistry in order to learn more about the compounds' physical properties. As a biochemist I am particularly excited about the possible catalytic and biological implications of the project. Nataro says she has remained persistent in the face of the project's challenges. I don't know many other schools in the country that allow undergraduates to work with professors in such a close manner. Lafayette definitely fosters the ability to work in an academic environment.
