Inorganic Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry research at Stony Brook spans organometallics, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, bioinorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, and materials chemistry. Examples of ongoing research projects include the targeted synthesis of transition metal-containing biomimetics, elucidation of organometallic reaction mechanisms, development of next-generation fuel cells and batteries, and in situ spectroscopic monitoring of materials synthesis and crystal growth. Advances in these areas rely on access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodology (e.g., X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, microscopy, electrochemistry, and computation) available not only at Stony Brook but also at Brookhaven National Laboratory, housing the Center for Functional Nanomaterials and the National Synchrotron Light Source II.
