Eric Abbey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Eastern Washington University. His research focuses on organic and main group inorganic chemistry, particularly boron chemistry, air-free synthesis techniques, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. He specializes in the synthesis and characterization of organoborohydrides, BN-heterocycles, and materials with applications in energy storage and medicinal chemistry.
Key research areas include the development of novel synthetic pathways for boron-containing compounds, crystal structure analysis using X-ray diffraction, and electrochemical studies of organoborohydrides. His work bridges organic/inorganic chemistry with materials science, emphasizing functional materials and reaction mechanism studies.
Dr. Abbey's recent articles explore topics such as dehydrocoupling reactions, trifluoroborate conversion to metal borohydrides, and the synthesis of BN-isosteres of biological molecules (e.g., indole analogs). These studies highlight his expertise in both fundamental chemistry and practical applications like drug delivery and energy systems.
Notably, his research on farnesol's neuroprotective effects demonstrates interdisciplinary outreach into biochemistry and pharmacology. Despite no explicitly listed awards or grants in the text, his prolific publication record reflects sustained academic engagement in boron-based chemistry.
