SOLVING ELECTRON MYSTERIES. Electron Interactions and Transfers in Catalysis, Biology, Materials, and Devices. This research program encompasses studies of organometallic structure, bonding, reactivity, and catalysis and extends to bioorganometallic chemistry, metal-metal bonding, molecular clusters, and related areas. Most recently this research has moved toward electron transfer processes, molecular electronics, and solar fuels. A central theme of this research has been to probe and understand this chemistry at the level of electronic structure. In one sense, all chemical behavior may be viewed as the movement of electrons. An obvious example is the oxidation and reduction processes of metalloenzymes in biology, but so too is the selective making and breaking of bonds in industrial catalysis, the transport of electrons in molecular wires, and the interactions of molecules with light. Many of the principles of electronic structure and bonding that have been discovered in this research have followed from the development and application of photoelectron spectroscopy, a technique that is often introduced in freshman chemistry texts. Computational chemistry is also an important aspect of this research, and photoelectron spectroscopy is the most direct method to test and validate electron energies in developing computational methods. The special nature or our research methods has led to numerous fruitful and exciting collaborations with scientists from around the world.
