Michael Land

Dr. Michael Land is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Mount Saint Vincent University. His research focuses on designing redox-active ligands for transition metal and main-group complexes, with an emphasis on phosphorus-based NMR probes for reaction mechanisms and catalytic processes.

• B.Sc. (Honours Chemistry), Saint Mary's University
• M.Sc. (Applied Science), Saint Mary's University
• Ph.D. (Inorganic Chemistry), Carleton University
• Postdoctoral Fellow, Dalhousie University

His work explores unconventional bonding motifs and ligand scaffolds, particularly in stabilizing diverse metal oxidation states and luminescent properties. Recent publications highlight innovations in aza-diphosphazenanes, pnictogen dications, and PN-cage compounds with mechanistic insights.

Key collaborations include researchers at Saint Mary's University, Carleton University, and Dalhousie University. Contact: Michael.Land1@MSVU.CA.
