The Weix research program is focused on the development of conceptually new catalytic methods for organic synthesis. Goals include uncovering, studying, and designing new catalytic cycles as well as developing reactions of practical value. Applications include a mixture of organometallic mechanistic studies, organic reaction development, and collaborations. Researchers in the Weix Group come from both synthetic organic and inorganic backgrounds and all students can expect to be well versed in current organic methods and organometallic mechanisms.
