My research involves using concepts and techniques from molecular inorganic chemistry to alter the properties of two-dimensional materials for use in catalysis. Specifically, I am working on functionalizing semiconducting black phosphorus with transition metals that can serve as active sites for reactions such as hydroformylation. Synthesis of this type of material from the bulk down to a single atomic layer can provide insight into metal support interactions that often dictate how a catalyst behaves.
