John T. Groves is the Hugh Stott Taylor Chair of Chemistry and Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research bridges organic, inorganic, and biological chemistry, focusing on biomimetic catalysis, membrane-protein interactions, and radical-mediated transformations. He leads the Groves Group in the Frick Laboratory, collaborating with institutions like the Andlinger Center for Energy and Environment.
Research interests include designing catalysts for energy and environmental applications, studying host-pathogen iron interactions via siderophores, and developing probes for peroxynitrite in biological systems. His work emphasizes metal-catalyzed processes, with notable contributions to methane oxidation, C-H functionalization, and enzyme-inspired chemistry.
Dr. Groves has received over 50 honors, including the National Academy of Sciences membership (2012) and multiple ACS awards (e.g., 2015 Inorganic Chemistry Award). His research has led to innovations in fluorination, catalytic oxidation, and enzyme inhibition strategies.
Key achievements include manganese-catalyzed fluorination techniques, iodate/chloride-driven alkane oxidation, and insights into cytochrome P450 mechanisms. His lab also investigates hypothetic applications in drug discovery and sustainable chemistry.
