Led by Adam Veige · Chemistry
What we study
The Veige Lab studies how metal‑based compounds can be used to make new types of polymers. They create special ligands and early‑transition‑metal complexes, then use reactions like ring‑expansion metathesis and inorganic click chemistry to build cyclic and metallopolymers.

Current projects
Cyclic Polyacetylene
Creates cyclic forms of polyacetylene through new organometallic routes.
Improvement to Synthesis of Tungsten Catalysts for Cyclic Polymer Synthesis
The lab develops a faster way to make tungsten catalysts that help create ring‑shaped polymers. Students synthesize new catalyst molecules and test them in a polymer reaction.
