Synthetic Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry

The Holland research group is interested in understanding biological catalysts (enzymes). We synthesize compounds that either resemble potential intermediates or undergo catalytically relevant reactions. Our goals are: (1) to design molecules that can perform interesting transformations like those accomplished by enyzmes, and (2) gain mechanistic information that helps to understand the mechanism of the catalysts.
