Professor Minelli’s research deals with the synthesis and characterization of
molybdenum compounds. Molybdenum compounds act as catalysts for a number
of processes, among them olefin metathesis, and molybdenum is also a cofactor
in biological systems. The study of these complexes helps to further the understanding
of the role of molybdenum in the catalytic and biological field. Methods involved in
this research are Schlenckline synthesis, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy,
electrochemistry and X-ray crystallography (done off-campus).
