Research summary

Douglas R. Powell's work centers on determining and analyzing crystal structures of metal-containing compounds, particularly organometallic and coordination complexes such as porphyrins and copper, manganese, and ruthenium complexes. Much of this research supports other chemists by providing X-ray crystallography services that reveal the precise 3D molecular structures of newly synthesized compounds, often contributing to studies of their chemical and electrochemical properties. This type of work frequently appears as a supporting contribution (e.g., structure determination) within larger collaborative papers in synthetic and inorganic chemistry.
