Thank you for visiting our website. Our laboratories are located on the third floor in the Pierce Hall addition on the campus of UC Riverside, California. Our research is focused on the main group elements from groups 13 to 16, at the border between organic, organometallic and inorganic chemistry, with some developments in the field of material science. We use the specific properties of main group elements, especially boron, silicon and phosphorus, to stabilize organic species, which are supposed to be only transient intermediates, such as carbenes, nitrenes, radicals and biradicals, 1,3-dipoles, anti-aromatic heterocycles. One of our major projects is the synthesis of stable localized singlet and triplet 1,3-diradicals using various combinations of group 13 to 15 main group elements. Another important project is the synthesis of stable carbenes and their use as ligand for transition metal catalysts.
