Projects may combine selected elements as needed — typically involving synthesis of new compounds and in-house characterization by X-ray, UV-vis, luminescence, EPR, and magnetic measurements.

Research

Syntheses of optically active ligands and their metal complexes aimed at testing theoretical estimates of the ability of NMR spectroscopy to discriminate the two mirror images of a chiral metal complex.

Development of computer software to simulate and interpret ESR (electron spin resonance) spectra and INS (inelastic neutron scattering) data.

Development of a theoretical formalism to account for magnetic and thermal properties of large spin clusters containing 10 or more paramagnetic center
