Summer 2010 Research

Students: Tom Hammond, UNI student, worked on the activation of small molecules using our dinuclear ruthenium complexes. Tom also worked on helping characterize the reaction products of polyarenes with our diruthenium complexes.

 

Regina Reinig, UNI student, worked on making the di-t-butyl version of our doubly linked Cp ligand.

 

Helori Salembier, ENSC Rennes, worked on the kinetics of the diruthenium naphthalene complex.

 

Andrew Heidemann, Dike New Hartford, and Kevin Dou, Cedar Falls High, worked on investigating the cytotoxic properties of some of our diruthenium complexes.

 

Andrew Paige, Waterloo East, and Rodney Wallace, Waterloo East, worked on the synthesis and characterization of various polyarene dirutheinum complexes.
