research summary
We are a new organic and organometallic chemistry group interested in exploiting unique photochemical phenomena for the development of new synthetic transformations. In one research area, we will use in situ-generated organometallic complexes to catalytically access high energy heteroatom-centered radicals to engage C–H functionalizations, skeletal rearrangements, and fragment couplings for the generation of molecular complexity. A complementary project will entail the use of common organocatalytic modes to enable uncommon photochemistry, with an eye towards redefining the logic of organocatalytic functionalization. Building on this organocatalytic reaction development project, we will leverage similar photochemical phenomena to drive biomolecule derivatization. Across all project areas, we will make use of all available physical and analytical tools to study the underlying photochemical phenomena to drive deeper understanding and innovation in catalyst design, structure, and function.
