Research Objectives:

Our research group has been involved in the area of synthetic inorganic chemistry toward designing of proficient strategies to achieve synthesis and characterization of unusual transition metal complexes, relevant structural-functional model systems for important enzyme active sites and discovering unusual reactivity with a goal to expand the scope of synthetic inorganic chemistry as well as bioinorganic chemistry.

The specific areas of interest include:

  • Chemistry of reactive nitrogen species with thiol/hydrosulfide/polysulfide in the presence of redox active first row transition metals.
  • Functional modeling chemistry of flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases, conversion of NO to N2O, mechanistic aspects.
  • Thiolate, hydrosulfide and polychalcogenide complexes of first-row transition metals, selective synthesis, reactivity and mechanistic aspects.
