CURRENT RESEARCH AREAS and Publications

Research Areas:

Research into the relations between the structure and physical properties of solids, their surface properties, and their ability to guide chemical reactions along specific pathways. Solid state chemistry and catalysis phenomena are investigated by modern means of electron and optical spectroscopies and electron microscopy involving microdiffraction and X-ray microanalysis. Optoelectronics for flexible displays. OLEDs and PLEDs.

Surface science of atomic and molecular overlayers is being pursued using high energy and angle resolution X-ray and UV photoelectron spectroscopy (HR X(U)PS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (HR EELS), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and isotope methods.

Clusters (view PDF file)

Intrazeolitic transition metal ion complexes with organic molecules are being investigated by spectroscopic, structural, and theoretical methods. Dioxygen, olefin, and nitrogen oxide complexes have been synthesized, theoretical ligand field theory thereof developed, and Jahn-Teller effect with spin-orbit coupling as well as excitation energy transfer are being studied.

Several current projects involve the synthesis of alcohols and ethers from carbon monoxide and hydrogen catalyzed by copper, transition metals, oxides, sulfides and solid acids. The fundamental aspect of this research focuses on the determination of the relation between the structure and electronic state of the catalysts and their selectivity to a given product, the control of the C-C, C-O, C-H, and C-N bond formation. Activation of small molecules for specific reactions, such as of methane to formaldehyde, methanol and higher alcohols, is being studied experimentally and theoretically. The catalysts involve doubly doped oxides, zeolites and metals, both in single crystal form and in ultradispersed form. The practical significance of this research rests in our ability to design catalysts for novel synthesis of monomers, energy chemicals, and specialty chemicals. The research team working on the project involves physical chemists, organic chemists, chemical engineers, and physicists.
