I am investigating the activity and structure of supported metal
catalysts
for use in alkane metathesis, which is achieved by performing alkane
dehydrogenation/hydrogenation and olefin metathesis in tandem. I am
focused
mainly on rhenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts to be used with an
iridium-based dehydrogenation catalyst developed by collaboratorts at
UNC
Chapel Hill and Rutgers University.
