The Chemistry
At the Roberts Group, we use inorganic and organometallic chemistry to solve fundamental problems in organic chemistry.
Our main focuses include:
Aryne Functionalization
Early Transition Metal Catalysis
C-C, C-N, and C-X Bond Formation
The Group
At the Roberts Group, we don't accept the excuse "it's always been done that way."
We celebrate our diversity, and we fight to make science more inclusive.
