Areas of Research/Expertise |
||||||
Consisting of only undergraduates, the Hamilton research group is interested in exploring greener methods of chemical synthesis, especially for porphyrins. Having shown the possibility of obtaining symmetrical, tetra-substituted porphyrins using simple starting materials through mechanochemistry, we are now investigating mechanochemical synthesis of di-substituted porphyrins, and those having very bulky substituents. We are also developing ways of teaching green chemistry using mechanochemical methods in undergraduate teaching labs. Another area of interest is metal-organic assemblies involving porphyrins as ligands. |
