PhD Thesis:
The thesis topic was about nitrogen fixation, where a series of low valent vanadium
compounds were prepared with aminoalcohols. The compounds were able to fix the
atmospheric dinitrogen and convert it to the invaluable ammonia and hydrazine.
Research Interests:
1- Synthesis and study of vanadium complexes that are potential candidates for use
as substitutes or as enhancing agents for insulin used by diabetes patients, some
300 million world wide.
2- Modeling of the active sites of enzymes including carbon monoxide
dehydrogenase/ acetyl coenzyme A synthase and zinc enzymes for better
understanding of these enzymes and the preparation of effective catalysts for
some important chemical processes.
3- Nitrogen fixation, by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ammonia, the
basic fertilizer used in agriculture.
4- Selective complexation and extraction of metals (such as iron, uranium, cadmium,
and lead) from aqueous solutions.
Languages:
-
Arabic (mother language)
English (fluent)
