“The influence of Lewis acids on organometallic chemistry”

Abstract: Bimetallic catalysis is an emerging research area. Novel bond activations are made possible through the collective action of two metal centers. In our group, the interactions of organometallic complexes with Lewis acids are investigated through experiment and computation. Applications in organometallic catalysis are explored.
