Fink Group 2014
Group Research Interest
Research interest in this area focuses primarily in the synthetic and mechanistic chemistry of silicon, boron and related elements.
Current Research Interest
- The synthesis of multiply-bonded silicon compounds, to study the effects of silicon p-conjugation related to the concepts of aromaticity and anti- aromaticity.
- Mechanistic investigations of transition-metal silicon chemistry, as it pertains to catalysis and materials synthesis.
- The study of organosilicon photochemistry and reactive intermediates, in fluid solution, inert matrices, and in molecular beams.
- The synthesis of novel precursors to technologically important ceramic fibers and thin films
