|
Postdoctoral Fellow in the Lehnert group
|
Research Project
|
Synthesis, Spectroscopic and Theoretical Studies on High-Valent Metal-Oxo Complexes
New ligand scaffolds will be developed to generate high-valent transition metal-oxo complexes in trigonal ligand fields. These complexes
will then be studied using a pletora of spectroscopic and theoretical methods to determine their geometric and electronic structures.
