Current research involves the synthesis of novel molecules and the study
of reaction mechanism. A study of the mechanism of ozonolysis of electron
rich alkenes has led to the preparation of two new types of luminescent
molecules and a powerful oxygen atom transfer reagent. Remote steric effects
on radical reactions and new types of polymerization reactions are also
being investigated. Publications:
