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
At the Roberts Group, we don't accept the excuse "it's always been done that way."
We celebrate our differences, and we fight to make science a place for everyone.
