Professor François Gabbaï and his team will investigate the synthesis and coordination chemistry of novel ambiphilic ligands featuring a carbenium ion positioned next to a phosphine- or carbene-based metal-binding site. When coordinated to late transition metals such as nickel, palladium, platinum and gold, these ligands are intended to electronically impoverish the metal center via charge transfer or electrostatic interactions between the metal and carbenium unit. Characterization of these atypical interactions using structural, spectroscopic and computational tools seeks to provide new ways to influence late transition metal reactivity and opportunities in photoredox elimination chemistry and carboradical catalysis. Broader impacts include mentoring diverse high school students and engaging K-6 students in chemistry education.
