Biography

Sonny Lee's research efforts focus on challenging problems in transition element inorganic chemistry. His studies involve the synthesis of new compounds and compound classes, as well as the characterization of their physical and chemical properties using a broad array of methods. The research primarily targets the understanding of the molecular aspects of biological nitrogen fixation. His work has led to the development of synthetic chemistry associated with clusters of weak-field iron, revealing anionic nitrogen ligation, and the discovery of iron centers with rare and unprecedented features, such as high-valent +4 oxidation states and 3-coordinate metal environments with terminal imide ligation. Additionally, his investigations demonstrate physicochemical analogies that relate iron-nitrogen systems to biological iron-sulfur chemistry.
