Research 

Goicoechea leads a dynamic research group focused on the design and synthesis of novel compounds based on environmentally abundant main-group elements (e.g. aluminium, silicon, phosphorus). This work ranges from purely fundamental studies (such as the synthesis of elusive small molecules and reactive intermediates), to more applied fields (catalysis and materials science).

-Nanoporous materials, such as MOFs, COFs, and discrete nanocages, are increasingly targeted as tunable supports for molecular electrocatalysts. The pores of these materials provide new opportunities for tuning catalytic activity but also raise challenging mechanistic questions since the confined pore environment must rearrange to accommodate the movement of charge during electrocatalytic processes. This talk will describe the development of porphyrin-walled nanocages as soluble model structures for examining how nanoconfined environments respond to redox changes.

The chemistry of actinide elements continues to be a flourishing field of active research. This talk will focus on work from several areas of our current research in this area of the periodic table.

Abstract 

Research 

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are molecules that behave like nanoscopic bar magnets. They are interesting due to various potential applications in high-density information storage, molecular spintronics, and magnetic refrigeration. The challenge in realizing these applications lies in designing molecular magnets that have high operating temperatures.

Research 

Research in the Gilliard Laboratory is multidisciplinary and combines various aspects of organic, inorganic, main-group, and materials chemistry. We develop novel synthetic methods to access molecules that are important for solving problems related to environmental sustainability, energy conversion, and the discovery of next-generation electronics.
