Our research interests span a wide range of inorganic main group and organometallic chemistry. In the more fundamental projects, new reactivity and chemical transformations are targeted with a view to developing new catalysts to either new materials or new processes.  

Current fundamental projects are focused in the areas:
· The reactivity of  "frustrated Lewis pairs"
· Towards FLP-N2 chemistry
· C-H bond activation and C-C bond formation by FLPs
· B-based catalysis
· Main Group cations
· Main group CO2 chemistry
· P-based Lewis acids
· Main Group Metathesis
· C-F bond functionalization by main group species

Current Research support is derived from:
· NSERC Discovery Grant
· University of Toronto
