Welcome to the website of the Hartley group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
The major research focus of the group is to exploit the structural versatility of organic chemistry to design new molecules for use in organic electronics (as well as some other applications). We focus on relatively large (nanometer-scale) molecules: molecules in this size regime can have very interesting properties in terms of charge transport, interaction with light, and the potential to self-assemble into sophisticated supramolecular materials. Please check out the research page for more information.
Researchers in the group work at the interface of organic chemistry and materials science, and gain valuable skills in both these areas. Depending on the project, we use synthetic organic chemistry, physical organic chemistry, and materials characterization to varying degrees. There are presently positions available for new grad students. Miami undergraduates should feel free to contact me if they are interested in getting involved in our research or if they would like to discuss other research opportunities in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
