Welcome to the Tonzetich Research Group at the University of Texas at San Antonio!

Our laboratory seeks to answer questions in catalysis, sustainability, and biology through the common theme of synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry.

We are interested in the preparation and characterization of new transition metal-containing molecules as well as a mechanistic understanding of their reactivity. Much of the synthetic work we do involves the manipulation of air- and moisture-sensitive materials. We also employ a variety of spectroscopic techniques, most of which are available here in the Chemistry Department at UTSA.
