C–H Functionalization

A diagram shows transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization of C(sp²)–H bonds to C(sp²)–FG, with various example molecules and catalysts like Ir, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ru displayed in a flask.

The conversion of carbon-hydrogen (C–H) bonds into new functional groups represent a powerful strategy for the construction of organic molecules.

Organometallics

A chemical reaction scheme showing high valent group 10 metal reactivity, including substrates, products, and key intermediates with 3D molecular structures, highlighting accessibility and reactivity of Ni(IV) species.

A second research area in the Sanford laboratory focuses on the design, synthesis, and reactivity studies of high valent group ten organometallic complexes.

Fluorination

Diagram showing chemical structures and reactions for synthesizing radiolabeled compounds, with a PET scan illustration and molecular models demonstrating applications in medical imaging.

Fluorine-containing molecules are important in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and medical imaging sectors.
