Complexes containing two or more adjacent metal centres offer an added chemical dimension over those containing a single metal; not only can the metals act independently but they can also act in a cooperative manner leading to chemistry that differs appreciably from that displayed by the single metal counterparts. 

It is the prospect of metal cooperativity which is of primary interest to my research group, in its application to organic synthesis and catalysis.  We are therefore involved in the design, synthesis and characterization of novel complexes containing two or more adjacent metal centres and with the subsequent chemistry of these species.
