Synthesis and computations of Si=C bonded compounds

I primarily work with synthesis of novel Si=C bonded compounds and investigation of their reactions, and perform quantum chemical calculations of their formation and reactivities.

I also work a little bit with synthesis and design of fulvenes with tunable band gaps.
