Fiona M. Foley

Fiona M. Foley is a Research Fellow at James Cook University specializing in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, with a research focus on dinuclear ruthenium complexes and their biomolecular interactions.

Her primary research areas include Inorganic Chemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry, Chemical Biology, DNA Binding Studies, and Transition Metal Chemistry. She has made significant contributions to understanding stereochemical properties of ruthenium complexes, particularly their DNA binding mechanisms at bulge sites and solid-state anion recognition capabilities. Her work bridges synthetic inorganic chemistry with biological applications through molecular probe development.

Analysis of her 2001-2007 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory centered on ruthenium(II) dinuclear systems, examining synthetic methodologies, stereoisomerism, DNA structural interactions, and anion coordination chemistry. This body of work demonstrates consistent application of coordination chemistry principles to solve biological recognition problems.
