CAREER: CAS: Rational Development of Titanium Photocatalysis for the Generation, Utilization, and Control of Heteroatom-Centered Radicals

This project is developing catalysts based on earth-abundant titanium to promote value-adding chemical transformations of organic molecules driven by light. Photoactive metal catalysts are commonly used for organic synthesis. A key step in these reactions is the movement of electrons between the catalyst and the substrate. An alternative approach…
