Research Experience
Oakridge National Laboratories: (2009 Summer faculty research project at SNS and CNMS) Anti ferromagnetic MnO nanoparticles were synthesized with a control on their size and mono dispersity by solvothermal methods. The overall yield was maximized. Magnetic susceptibility data and small angle neutron diffraction data were collected on these samples. Method was developed to yield 98% of the precursor compound to the nanoparticles. This was important to maximize the yield of nanoparticles and minimizing the cost of deuterated samples. Systematic trouble shooting was performed in order to eliminate the unexpected failure to the formation of deuterated nanoparticles and a reliable protocol has been established for monodisperse MnO nanoparticles.
Fu Group: (Postdoctoral work; currently working on) Structural biology of RNA polymerases of eukaryotic cells. Binary complexes of RNA polymerase and cofactors like SPT5 and ternary complexes of RNA polymerase, SPT5 and DNA/RNA were successfully assembled and single crystals were grown. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction data of 4.5 Å resolution were collected on significant number of crystals.
Donaldson Group: (Postdoctoral work) First synthesis of a natural product, dysibetaine CPa, which was initially extracted from a south pacific sponge, Dysidea herbicea has been accomplished. The target molecule was synthesized using organo-iron chemistry followed by multi-step organic synthesis.
Bennett Group: (PhD work) Surface (platinum) tethered metal isocyanide oligomers were synthesized in a stepwise fashion and characterized by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, as a potential molecular wire precursor. The growth of the oligomers from a surface was necessary because of the polymerization capability of the reactants, [W(dppe)2(N2)2] and CN-C6H4-NC. The spectral results were verified by a modular process where, trans-[W(dppe)2(CN-C6H4-NC)2] species was synthesized from solution phase and fully characterized by spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and finally allowed to coordinated to the thin-film platinum surface (modular fashion). The results were compared; however, due to the inherent difference in the self assembled monolayers (SAM) the ATRIR signal of tungsten coordinated isocyanides for the two cases appeared to be different. The signals for the modular manufacture appeared to be much resolved compared to the stepwise manufacture.
Kabir Group: (MSc work) Reactivity of dppm (bis-diphenyl phosphinomethane)- substituted triruthenium carbonyl cluster compounds with sulfur and nitrogen donor ligands were studied and the unique bonding patterns of the ligands resulted in noble compounds that retained the triruthenium frame work. The structural integrity is believed to be enhanced by the dppm ligand. Similar studies with dppe (bis-diphenyl phosphinoethane)- substituted triruthenium carbonyl cluster compounds showed change in the structural frame work when reacting with linear aliphatic dithiols.

New Course Developed/Existing Course Developed:
• New course: CHEM 4007 and CHEM 6407 “Supramolecular Chemistry” as a special special topics course of inorganic chemistry.
• “Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry” a traditional lecture based course has been modified to accommodate an industrial field trip as part of all the activities of the course. It was the first example of this kind of development for any lecture based course. This development gives firsthand experience about the topics students learn in a lecture-based class.
