Thank you for visiting the Dias Group website. We are a synthetic chemistry group specializing in inorganic and organometallics chemistry at the University of Texas at Arlington. We focus on uncovering and developing powerful catalysts for small molecule activation, energy efficient processes for olefin-paraffin separation, molecules that are luminescent, strategies for controlling ethylene effects in plants, and methodologies for stabilizing reactive intermediates. We create specific metal complexes for desired applications, and design and use new fluorinated ligands and anions widely in our research.
We value diversity and welcome students from different backgrounds with interests in scientific discovery.
