Research Interests:
The Byers group is a synthetic organic chemistry lab that focuses on synthesizing and characterizing highly conjugated organometallic polymers. The current polymer of interest is a chromium complexed poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) polymer. This polymer is synthesized by the palladium and copper catalyzed Sonogashira cross coupling reaction.
Techniques used:
- NMR
- IR
- UV-Vis
- GC-MS
Lab Group:
- Zeest Hassan ‘17.5
- Peter Dykeman-Bermingham ‘18.5
