Area of Research: Catalysis (organometallic) Research in the Getzler lab utilizes the theories and techniques of organic, inorganic and polymer chemistries in the design and use of catalytically active compounds. Projects include: new pentavalent aminophenoxides five-coordinate group 13 compounds with five-coordinate ligands new metal alkoxides for ring-opening polyermizations (ROP) activity of known metal alkoxides for ROP
