Welcome to the
Herbert Group website! David E. Herbert
We are a synthetic inorganic chemistry research group based in the Department of Chemistry and affiliated with the Manitoba Institute for Materials (MIM) at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. We focus on using organometallic and inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry and polymer science to tackle problems in clean energy and environmental remediation, including aqueous organometallic/inorganic chemistry, small molecule activation including carbon dioxide reduction and utilization, and water treatment.
For more information, please check out our site or get in touch.

Oscar and Michael
did a fantastic
job presenting their summer work at the Undergraduate
Summer Research
Poster Session! Good job guys!
Congratulations to
Pat on
successfully defending his MSc as well! Not so much on
nearly taking
out his eye with the champagne cork ;) Pat is off to
Europe to "find
himself" - hopefully he finds his way back before
starting his next
step in the US!
Congratulations to
Peter on
successfully defending his MSc thesis! Pete will start
Medical School
at the University of Manitoba in Fall 2017 and we wish
him all the best
on his new journey to become a "real" doctor! :)
