Biography

Roland Roesler is a Professor at the University of Calgary specializing in synthetic inorganic chemistry. His research interests span a relatively broad area with a focus on the chemistry of main group elements. He is particularly interested in compounds that involve bonds between elements from groups 13, 14, and 15, as well as combinations of these elements with transition metals. Roesler's goals include the development of new molecular materials and the characterization of novel bonding patterns associated with main group elements. His research is primarily dedicated to investigating compounds that contain main group element frameworks, and current projects involve the design and synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbenes and carbenoids with inorganic backbones. He utilizes a variety of methodologies, including vacuum Schlenk techniques supported by glove boxes for compound synthesis, and employs numerous characterization methods such as multinuclear Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography, among others.
