Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works in synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry, focusing on making and characterizing new compounds involving metals such as aluminum, gallium, magnesium, tin, germanium, and lead. Much of the work centers on unusual low-oxidation-state or radical metal species (like aluminyl and gallyl anions) and how they react with other elements to form new bonds. Determining the precise 3D atomic arrangement of these compounds using X-ray crystallography is a recurring part of the research output.
