Manish Jana

Manish Jana's research centers on synthetic inorganic and coordination chemistry, particularly designing metal complexes (nickel, cobalt, manganese, iron) that mimic the active sites of metalloenzymes such as nitrile hydratase and acetyl-CoA synthase. This work involves synthesizing and crystallographically characterizing new metal-sulfur and metal-nitrosyl compounds to understand their structure, bonding, and redox chemistry, with some extension into materials like superconducting inorganic chains and semiconducting frameworks for water splitting.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with a notable dip around 2019-2021, a resurgence in 2022, and a more moderate but steady pace in recent years (averaging about 7-8 papers per year over the last five years).
