Research Interests
Charla Miertschin, Professor of Chemistry
Dr. Miertschin and her students are working on the synthesis of new metal cluster phosphine complexes of the general form [M3Y4X3(PR3)3]4+ or [M3Y4X3(P-P)3]4+, where M = Mo or W, Y = O or S, and X = Cl or Br.
Some students and their research projects from 2009-2010:
- Pat Berg Synthesis of Tri-nuclear Molybdenum and Tungsten Structures; with the Substitution of Pyridine
