Research Interests

    We previously investigated the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of the mononuclear and polynuclear (cluster) organotransition metal complexes, particularly the activation of small organic substrates upon coordination to the metal atoms.
    The research projects conducted at present are the study of organimetallic complexes cpmtaomomg polyfunctional ligands and cyclic polyalkynes, as well as the preparation of new compounds via metal vapor synthesis
