Research Highlights
We have developed a family of phosphinimine imine compounds that serve as ligand precursors and proligands for late transition metals. In one project we have developed a family of iron complexes with chelating phosphino-carbene and phosphino-carbanion chelates, generated from phosphino-phosphinimine ligand precursors, where the nature of the carbene moiety (XCN) can be tuned by changing...
Alloys of Pt have been shown to improve the kinetics of oxygen reduction. We have found that the deposition of Zn onto Pt creates a substrate upon which we have measured the kinetic parameters for the electrodeposition of Zn under close-to-industrial conditions. We are now studying the chemical nature of the surface alloy using UHV techniques such as Auger Spectroscopy. We have also found that...
