Organometallic Synthetic Chemistry at SDSU

At SDSU, the organic and inorganic chemistry programs work closely together, united by a shared interest in the synthesis of organics in conjunction with main group or transition metal elements. The principal researchers in this area at SDSU are listed below.

• Douglas Grotjahn (organometallics and bioinorganic chemistry).
• B. Mikael Bergdahl (chiral synthesis with organometallic reagents and catalysts).
• Carl Carrano (bioinorganic chemistry; x-ray crystallography).
• Thomas Cole (boron/organometallic chemistry).
• Ratnasamy Somanathan (bioorganic chemistry with organometallic reagents).
