Research in the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis focuses on the development of molecular transition metal electrocatalysts for multi-proton, multi-electron reactions that are needed for a secure energy future.

Research interests include synthetic, kinetic, and mechanistic aspects of transition metal complexes and their use as homogeneous catalysts and electrocatalysts. Much of our work focuses on the reactivity of metal hydrides, and the factors that influence the cleavage of the M-H bond as a proton, a hydride, or a hydrogen atom.
