Manuel is a synthetic inorganic chemist whose research interests focus on the development of heterobimetallic systems that emulate features of metalloenzymes such as [NiFe] and [FeFe] hydrogenases. He is also interested in understanding the electronic delocalization of multi-metal nitrosyl complexes, such as a Fe₂(NO)₃ motif developed in our lab which has been shown to exist at several redox levels.

Zachary's research focuses on contructing biomimcs of metalloenzymes such as Acetyl CoA Synthase, Cu,Mo-CODHase and Lactate Racemase A. By incorporating various N₂S₂ metalloligand motifs, he hopes to develop functional models to preform desirable chemistry. He work also includes the development of the metal-N₂S₂ complexes as metalloligands for organometallic catalysis, such as cross-coupling chemistry, with the aim of leveraging the hemilability of our thiolate based metalloligands.

Paulina's research interests focus on utilizing our M-N₂S₂ metallodithiolate complexes (M = Ni, Fe, Co) as metalloligands to bind silver ions or metal nitrosyl units. By tuning the ligand backbone and studying the binding affinity and release profiles of these potential therapeutics, she hopes to inform the design of better drug delivery vehicles.

Trung's research focuses on his recent discovery of a novel, highly stable dimanganese hexacarbonyl species templated by our metal-N₂S₂ compounds. Investigations into the ligand exchange behavior and reactivity in Mn relavant chemistry are currently underway.

Kyle is a physical inorganic chemist interested in the electrochemical production of hydrogen using bioinspired molecular catalysts. Through use of physical and electroanalytical methods to study the mechanism of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and its inhibition by small molecules such as O₂, Kyle hopes to tune the stability and tolerance of these molecular catalysts.
