Sustainable Inorganic Chemistry

David Atwood joined the chemistry department at the University of Kentucky faculty as an Associate Professor in 1998. He has over 160 publications, 10 patents, and serves on numerous editorial boards, including the Encyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry. He is the founding editor and editor-in-chief of the journal Main Group Chemistry. His research interests include detection and removal of heavy metal contaminants such as mercury, cadmium and lead, from the environment, the preparation of nanoparticulate metal oxides, prevention of aluminum alloy oxidation, and the synthesis of new Lewis acid compounds to effect new reactions, such as the breaking of phosphate esters bonds like those found in nerve gas agents and pesticides and the destruction of methyl-t-butyl ether (MTBE) a widespread water contaminant.
