Casey R. Wade

Casey R. Wade's research focuses on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are porous crystalline materials built from metal ions connected by organic linkers. The group designs MOFs containing embedded metal complexes (including pincer complexes and other organometallic catalysts) to study how confining these active sites within a rigid porous structure affects chemical reactivity, catalysis, and gas capture, especially carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. They also use advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques, such as 17O-1H correlation NMR, to directly observe how CO2 molecules interact with capture materials at the atomic level.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade without a clear steady increase or decrease, with a notable dip around 2020-2022 followed by renewed activity in 2023-2026.
