Cody Work is a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry, Math, and Physics at Geneva College. He holds a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry (2022) from the University of Notre Dame and a B.S. in Chemistry (2016) from Grove City College. His work focuses on organometallic chemistry, particularly platinum and titanium complexes, with applications in catalysis and bioinorganic systems.
- Ph.D. Inorganic Chemistry, 2022 - University of Notre Dame
- B.S. Chemistry, 2016 - Grove City College
Work’s research spans coordination chemistry, with emphasis on low-valent and high-oxidation-state transition metal complexes. His studies on platinum benzylidenes and alkylidenes explore carbene reversibility and reactivity pathways, while his earlier work involved titanium alkylidenes and cyanobacterial metabolites targeting neurochemical receptors. These projects intersect materials science, catalysis, and bioinorganic chemistry.
His publications from 2014-2021 reveal a trajectory from bioactive natural product discovery to advanced organometallic synthesis, with recent contributions to coordination chemistry of group 10 metals (nickel, palladium, platinum) and low-coordinate platinum carbenes. Keywords include inorganic chemistry, catalysis, and chemical reactivity.
