Research with Donna Amenta and John Gilje

Dr. Amenta is an organic chemist, while Dr. Gilje specializes in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. For several years they have collaborated in their research effort. Thus, students working with them gain perspective and experience over a wide range of synthetic chemistry.

Here are some current projects:

    Synthesis of Crown Ether Ligands and Metal Complexes that contain them.

The Ph₂P(CH₂)_nP(O)Ph₂ Ligand       

    Main Group Metal Alkoxide Chemistry.
