Professor Mobley's research interests involve the application of physical organic
techniques to organometallic compounds. His current research involves the
synthesis of transition metal stannylenes with particular interest in the synthesis
of a novel class of these molecules in which the tin-transition metal bond shows
evidence of multiple bond character. These molecules may show nucleophilic behavior
at the tin atom as compared to previously made stannylenes which have an
electrophilic tin atom. One of the primary techniques used in Professor Mobley's
research is Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, which is an ongoing interest
for him.
