Daniel B. Leznoff is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Simon Fraser University. His research focuses on Inorganic Chemistry, particularly Coordination Chemistry and Organometallic Chemistry. Leznoff's group works extensively with a wide variety of metals including those from the alkali, alkaline-earth, transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. Their research aims to develop new methods to understand and control the structure, properties, and reactivity of molecular and supramolecular metal complexes. Notably, they study coordination polymer materials and the properties of phthalocyanine-based compounds, which have applications in various industries such as dyes and photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment. The Leznoff group employs a multidisciplinary approach in their research, integrating synthesis, property measurement, and various spectroscopic techniques, while also fostering the development of students into well-rounded researchers capable of contributing to academia, industry, and policy making.
