Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry

Research in the Matson group focuses on probing cooperative reactivity between non-traditional ligand platforms and first-row transition metals, specifically their ability to facilitate chemical transformations of industrial, environmental and biological significance. Extending the definition of “ligand” to bound moieties capable of intimately participating in reactivity, the Matson group is interested in the development of new ligand platforms with unique steric and electronic properties. The research projects in the Matson group capitalize on alternative applications of fundamental inorganic building blocks for the formation of first-row transition metal complexes capable of facilitating desirable multi-electron transformations (e.g. C−O bond activation, C−H functionalization), in an effort to aid in the generation of new constructs for remediation and valorization of byproducts associated with the development of renewable energy. These novel approaches will shape a research program focused on the investigation of new types of orthogonal, cooperative metal-ligand reactivity. Students in the Matson group will learn air and moisture sensitive synthetic techniques in addition to standard means of characterization for inorganic complexes (e.g. multinuclear NMR, infrared, Mössbauer, and electronic absorption spectroscopies, X-Ray crystallography).
