Who are we?
We are a diverse research group where undergraduate and graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, as well as the occasional high-school student or international visitor, work on the synthesis and characterization of magnetic molecules.
What do we do?
Our day to day work is inorganic coordination/organometallic chemistry. We make new ligands (organic chemistry), use them to make new complexes (inorganic chemistry) and characterize those using a variety of methods (physical chemistry). Our molecules are designed to display some very specific magnetic properties that give them potential application in molecular spintronics, a field of science at the border between physics and chemistry which can be defined a studying the behavior of molecules when a electrical current of charges or spin passes through them. In order to study the spintronic properties of our molecules, we have to connect them one by one to tiny electrodes (nanoscience). How do we do that? Check out the research page!
