Welcome to the Holman Research Group home page.

Research in the Holman lab lies at the intersection of organic, organometallic, and solid-state chemistry. Broadly speaking, we are interested in molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry ― the designed organization of molecules into multi-component entities or extended solids through non-covalent forces. Research projects are inherently multidisciplinary, allowing students to develop expertise in synthetic organic and/or organometallic chemistry, physical organic chemistry, solid-state chemistry, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction, various spectroscopic techniques (NMR, neutron scattering), thermal analysis (TGA, DSC), etc. Consult the Research page for more information on specific projects.

We are located in the Department of Chemistry at Georgetown University.
