OverviewAI-generated summary

Charles A. Mebi's research focuses on organometallic chemistry, particularly the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of metal complexes. His work has investigated complexes containing the Fe2S2 core, which are characteristic of [FeFe]-hydrogenases, and their role in catalyzing the reduction of acids to form dihydrogen. Mebi has also explored the pH-dependent selective transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls using half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes and the aqueous organometallic chemistry of water-soluble metal hydrides.

His research interests extend to the synthesis and coordination chemistry of novel phosphine ligands, such as 6-(diphenylphosphino)-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA-PPh2), and the study of boron–nitrogen adducts of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA). Mebi has also employed density functional theory (DFT) to study the structure, electronic properties, and reactivity of specific cis-isomers of metal complexes. His scholarly contributions include 70 publications, with an h-index of 16 and over 1,200 citations.
