Bioinorganic Chemistry – Design and synthesis of copper, iron, nickel and cobalt complexes as synthetic models for the active-sites of oxidase metalloproteins involved in O2 activation, oxidation catalysis. Self-assembly of multinuclear iron centers as structural and functional mimics for non-heme iron proteins.
Inorganic Spectroscopy – Exploit a variety of characterization methods of inorganic molecules with Uv-Vis-NIR, paramagnetic proton NMR, EPR, including X-ray crystallography, electrochemistry and magnetism.
