Biography

François Gabbaï is a Distinguished Professor and the Arthur E. Martell Chair in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University. His research explores bioinorganic catalysis, energy, and organometallic chemistry. Gabbaï's work focuses on main group-based Lewis acids and their applications in anion capture catalysis. He investigates the non-innocence of antimony ligands in organometallic catalysis, particularly how they can influence reactivity and oxidation reactions. His research includes the development of stibine derivatives as potent hydroamination catalysts and the study of ligand-based coordination processes that enhance the electrophilic character of transition metals. He also has a significant interest in the photochemistry of MSb complexes, with an emphasis on processes that support antimony-centered photoreductive mechanisms. Gabbaï has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the field, including serving on various editorial boards and delivering prestigious lectures around the country.
