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).
