Research interest
My work consists in investigation of intrinsic properties of small redox systems by means of mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations. The investigated systems usually contain transition metals and redox active ligands. These complexes can be often regarded as minimalistic models for active centers of metal containing enzymes or as intermediates in organometallic reactions. Further interests focus on estimation of fundamental properties of organic molecules such as ionization energies or proton affinities.
