The group occupies two synthetic laboratories (3326 and 3336) on the third floor of new wing of the Chemistry building. This state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to hood intensive research and teaching and includes ample space to promote interactions between students in the various research groups. The synthetic labs comprise four double hoods and associated bench space; the student office area is adjacent and overlooks the University of Maryland campus. Our two instrument rooms (3330 and 3340) house our chemical collection, specialized instrumentation, and dedicated hood space for stills and potentially hazardous reactions. Directly adjacent to the labs is a small kitchen for student and faculty use and a beautiful "breakout" area that has become an extremely popular meeting place in the department. Dr. Isaacs office is located in room 3341.
