WORKING EXPERIENCE

1. 6/2011– Present, Research Associate in organic chemistry, Dep. Chem.,

North Carolina State University

• Designed, synthesized and analyzed organic donor-bridge-acceptor Semiquinone-Nitronyl Nitroxide (SQNN) biradical compounds and organic compounds containing long alkyl groups, developed detailed surface structure and molecule interactions.

2. 7/2009–6/2010, Research Associate in organic chemistry, Dep. Chem., Boston University

• Designed, developed, synthesized and characterized organic compounds ((poly(pyrazolyl)borate and triphenolate compounds), and their single-site transition metal complexes as single-site homogeneous catalysts for polymerization, and investigated their reactivity with strong oxidizing agents.

• Designed and developed metal oxide nanoparticles (Fe and V) with different surface coatings and other useful organic functionalities as nanosensors for oil field. NPs (V) with VxOy cores (x = 1, 2, 6, 10, 16), coating with V=O, V-OH, CH3 and C2H5 groups. NPs (Fe) with Fe3O4, coating with different length chains of polyethylene glycol (PEG).

3. 3/2003–6/2009, Research Scientist in organic chemistry, Dep. Chem., Virginia Tech

• Synthesized one-electron acceptors as versatile and tunable building blocks by replacing any nitriles on TCNE (tetracyanoethylene) with organic functional groups. such as methyl tricyanoethylenecarboxylate (MTCE) and ethyl tricyanoethylenecarboxylate (ETCE). New charge-transfer salts, [MCp*2][L] (M = Cr, Mn and Fe, L = one-electron acceptor), have been synthesized by using decamethylmetallocenes (MCp*) as electron donors.

• Designed, synthesized and characterized (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) and TCNE (tetracyanoethylene) based transition metal complexes as organic-based magnetic materials, [MII(L)(TCNQ)n], [MII(L)(TCNE)n] (M = Mn, Fe, Ni and Co, L = organic terminal ligands).

• Designed and synthesized trimetallic mixed-metal complexes, [{(bpy)2M(dpp)}2Ru(bpm)](PF6)6, [{(Ph2phen)2Ru(dpp)}2Ru(bpm)](PF6)6 (M=Ru,Os, bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, dpp= 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine, bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine and ph2phen = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenantroline), and tetrametallic mixed-metal complexes as photocatalysts for Solar Energy Production, [{(bpy)2M(dpp)}2Ru(bpm)PtCl2](PF6)6, and developed their redox, spectroscopic, and photophysical properties.

4. 8/2001–8/2002, Research Associate in polymer materials, Institute of Physical Chemistry, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany.

• Designed and synthesized chiral side chain azo dye liquid crystalline polymers as optical recording materials. High-density information storage is an important technological objective. Organic dyes, such as azo dyes, cyanine dyes, are better candidates. Chiral azo dye polymers are synthesized. Holographic grating recording was developed.
