The Verani Group is working on distinct aspects of modern coordination chemistry and surface science with an emphasis on catalytic water splitting and metalloamphiphiles for molecular rectification and corrosion mitigation.

In order to advance research, we develop new ligand designs, inorganic synthesis, UV-visible, IR and EPR spectroscopy, electrochemistry, crystallography, computational calculations, Langmuir-Blodgett and self-assembly surface techniques, Brewster angle microscopy, and IRRAS spectroscopy.

We use these tools to understand, design, and develop molecule-based materials with relevance for molecular electronics, water reduction and oxidation.
