Macro/Molecular Main Group Chemistry
Canada Research Chair in Inorganic Polymers & Materials

We're a synthetic inorganic chemistry group at the University of Victoria on the Pacific coast of Canada! We carry out systematic, curiosity-driven, studies of main group elements, often with collaborators having applied interests, to reveal:
  • exciting new classes of functional materials for applications in green technologies
  • new concepts in metal coordination chemistry for making chemical synthesis more efficient
