P.T. Maragh B.Sc. (Special), Ph.D., U.W.I. Lecturer (Physical) pmaragh@uwimona.edu.jm

Research Interests:

1. Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms of dinuclear hydroxo-bridged transition metal complexes with dissolved SO2 and some oxoanions. We are the first group to synthesise and fully characterise an oxygen bridged sulfito complex of chromium(III).

2. Electrochemical studies on trinuclear mixed valence and mixed metal transition metal complexes in non aqueous solvents.This includes investigation of Standard Reduction Potentials and Electrode Kinetic reactions by cyclic voltammetry.

3. Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms of the oxidation of biological reductants with trinuclear transition metal complexes.
