Abstract

Our experimental focus is on the design and synthesis of polypyridine ligands and polypyridine-containing metal complexes. This work is directed towards the development of water-soluble catalysts for the decomposition of toxic/ecologically harmful organophosphates via hydrolysis or oxidation.
