- Organic Chemistry
Organic electron transfer (ET) chemistry is the primary topic of our research. We study how electron loss from organic compounds affects their structure, properties, and reactivity.
Keywords: organic chemistry, electron transfer reactions, organic radical ions, high-spin molecules, redox-gradient dendrimers, photoelectrochromics, redox-auxiliaries, organic crystal engineering via DA bonding.
We study electron loss from specially synthesized organic amines that results in a molecular change in shape, color, electrical, magnetic, and chemical reactivity.
Research Interests:
- High-Spin Poly Radical Cations
- Redox-Gradient Dendrimers and Charge Storage Molecules
- New Photo-Electrochromic Systems
- Electron Donor-Acceptor (DA) Bonding for Cocrystal Engineering
Research Interests:

One emphasis of our program is the synthesis of organic magnetic materials.
Our research group is also investigating electron donor-acceptor bonding between organic groups and the use of these attractions to control the structure of crystal lattices.
Our research involves organic synthesis, electrochemistry, NMR and ESR spectroscopy, photochemistry, x-ray crystallography, optical spectroscopy and probe microscopy.
