Janet Foley, Chemistry

Foley's publications include "Electronic and Steric Effects in Gold(I) Phosphine Complexes," Metal-Based Drugs, 1994; "An Unprecedented Photochemical Cis to Trans Isomerization of Dinuclear Gold (I) Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene Complexes," Journal of the American Chemistry Society, 1995; "Electrochemical Piezoelectric Sensors for Trace Ionic Contaminants," 1998, IEEE Transactions on UFFC (Ultrasonics, Feroelectrics and Frequency Control); and "Electronic Structure of Dinuclear Gold(I) Complexes," Metal-Based Drugs, 1999. Her teaching areas include environmental chemistry, drugs, and natural remedies; she has also done research in the chemistry of gold-phosphine-thiol compounds (similar to drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis) and the different chemistry of local water bodies. BA in political science, Fordham University; PhD in inorganic chemistry, University of Maine. She has taught at Bennington since 1998.
