  Developed synthetic protocols for a new class of chiral indigo diimines and related palladium complexes. Developed structure-property relationships to better understand how to model the rotational energy barriers of hindered N-C bonds present in the chiral indigo diimines and related complexes. Materials were characterized using NMR (room and variable temperature), lineshape analysis, density functional theory calculations (DFT and TD-DFT), FT-IR, UV-Vis, X-ray crystallography (single crystal), and mass spectrometry.

  Project One:The preparation of new iminophosphorano (-N=PR3) substituted pyridines and bispyridinylidenes as organic actuation catalysts and organic reducing agents respectively. Project Two:Linear correlations for the elucidation and prediction of the Hammett constants of iminophosphorano substituents were developed using the redox potential of iminophosphorano substituted bispyridinylidenes and the Tolman electronic parameter of the phosphine component the iminophosphorano substituent, respectively.
