Лаборатория гидридов металлов

Cage-like compounds with metal oxo core, bound to heterochained ligands Study of cage’ self-assembling and rearrangements, especially in the presence of additional organic ligands (“double ligation principle”) Study of supramolecular assembling of cage compounds Study of complexes’ structure in solid state (X-ray, XPD, EXAFS) and solution (IR/UV) Study of cage activity as precatalysts in wide range of processes Study of cage’ molecular magnetism

Supramolecular design based on macrocyclic pyrazolates of copper(I) or silver(I) and organometallic compounds

Intermolecular interactions and reactivity of main group hydrides including polyhedral boron compounds

Mechanistic studies of stoichiometric and catalytic reactions involving migration of hydrogen ions. The studies are performed using combination of low temperature molecular spectroscopy measurements and quantum chemical calculations.
