معرفی
Mark Fink is Professor of Chemistry at Tulane University's School of Science and Engineering, directing research in synthetic organosilicon and materials chemistry. His laboratory investigates silicon-based reactive intermediates and ceramic precursors.
Research focuses on multiply-bonded silicon compounds exploring p-conjugation effects, mechanistic studies of transition-metal silicon chemistry, and organosilicon photochemistry using molecular beam and matrix isolation techniques. Applications include novel precursors for advanced ceramics.
The Fink Group utilizes specialized instrumentation including cryogenic photochemical reactors, vapor pressure osmometry, and high-vacuum synthesis lines. Recent publications characterize sterically congested disilanes and functionalized silicon nanoparticles with biomedical applications.
