Research conducted in our laboratory utilizes physical
organic chemistry as it borders on bioorganic, bioinorganic, environmental and materials chemistry.
Our studies have encompassed mechanisms, structure-activity relationships, and the
synthesis and investigations of novel compounds with unusual properties. Methods used
include fast and slow kinetics by spectrophotometric techniques, isotopic labeling,
multi-nuclear NMR, HPLC, etc...for which excellent instrumentation is available. These
studies are supplemented by computational methods, e.g. ab initio, semi-empirical.
Close ties are maintained with industry (Xerox). Collaborations in research
include Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Chemical Engineering and
Civil Engineering, and in countries around the world.
Current projects in our lab are multifarious in nature, and come under the following
headings:
