Fascinated in modelling functional metal-organic fragments, particularly stabilizing organic radicals coordinated to transition metal ions in substantiating their role in multi-component electron transfer, aromatic ring cleavage, C-H activation, redox cascade, concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) reactions, furnishing mixed valence system based on metal and ligand skeletons and catalysis. Some of the results are highlighted below:
With another redox active fragment (Inorg. Chem. 2017, 56, 13194−13204)
Proton coupled oxidation of aryl amine to aryl aminyl radical (Inorg. Chem. 2019, 58, 15060−15077)
