The Bahamonde group is interested in the development and mechanistic understanding of Ni-catalyzed processes that involve light-mediated steps - either to generate radicals that can be trapped enantioselectively or to promote C - heteroatom reductive eliminations at room temperature. Like other first-row transition metals, Ni participates in both one- and ...
Understanding actinide-ligand covalency is at the center of efforts to design new separations schemes for spent nuclear fuel, and thus features considerable practical importance. NMR spectroscopy is a widely available means of measuring 5f covalency that is complementary to more established methods, such optical spectroscopy and XANES. However, its use ...
