Shylin group

The first iron(IV) clathrochelate complex stable in water is used as an efficient catalyst in both chemical and photochemical water oxidation reaching a turnover number of 365. Iron(V) intermediates generated under catalytic conditions are trapped and characterized using EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopy.

Photocatalytic and electrocatalytic energy and chemical conversion

Our research

Our research focuses on developing photo- and electrochemical approaches to small molecules activation. We combine synthetic inorganic chemistry with state-of-the-art characterization techniques. Specifically, we use electrochemistry methods, conventional and advanced spectroscopy, crystallography, mass spectrometry and other methods to study mechanisms of catalysis and characterization of intermediates. The special attention is given to the role of high-valent transition metal species in the activation of small molecules.
