This site contains information relating to my teaching and research activities. Some of it requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader or browser plug-in for viewing. If you don't have it already, download it from www.adobe.com/. Acrobat is a great way to communicate and the Reader is free! This site is perpetually under construction so wear your hard hat and be careful where you step. Thanks are due John Butler for his great html workshops and UH Mole seminars.

CHEM 4365 Inorganic Chemistry II (3sh) Modern inorganic chemistry with emphasis on the structure and bonding of inorganic and organo- metallic compounds.

> Synthesis of cyclic and cage molecules with Si, Ge, Sn and Pb skeletal atoms.

> Of particular interest currently is the use of high cone-angle groups to help prepare and stabilize Main Group derivatives with novel structures.

> The use of lithium reagents of the form LiE(SiMe3)3 where E= C, Si, Ge and Sn to introduce high cone-angel substituents.

> Molecules made here recently.
