Henry J. Hamann

Henry J. Hamann's research focuses on the chemistry of boron-containing compounds, especially amine-boranes and related boron hydrides, and their use as reagents or catalysts for reactions like amidation (forming amide bonds) and reduction of carboxylic acids. Recent work also extends into materials chemistry, including MXene materials (thin layered materials made by etching metal compounds) and reactive metal nanoparticles for energy-related applications. This research could interest students wanting hands-on experience in synthetic and inorganic chemistry with applications spanning organic synthesis, catalysis, and energetic or battery-related materials.

Publication output has grown steadily over the last decade, rising from occasional papers before 2020 to a consistent 3-5 publications per year in recent years.
