Our interdisciplinary research interests are in the area of inorganic materials that includes the study of both small molecule and polymeric materials containing transition and f-block metals. The ultimate goal of our research includes developing new materials for catalysis, energy storage, and light-emitting devices. We work at the interface of the traditional divisions of chemistry. Specifically, the skills of organic and inorganic synthesis and characterization are developed with the specific aim of producing and studying novel materials with tangible applications.
